Ashantai Nicole Finch, 32, was killed in a domestic shooting in Brooklyn Park, Minnesota, on the night of April 10, 2012. Finch had been living with her sister and brother-in-law when an argument in the home’s basement with her boyfriend, 19-year-old Dymond Rene Hayden, escalated. A single shotgun blast to her chest ended her life; the Hennepin County Medical Examiner identified her and an autopsy placed the time of death near 11:30 p.m. Family members were upstairs when the shooting occurred.

Hayden ran upstairs telling them to call 911 and initially said the gun went off while they were playing with it; investigators disputed that account. Police arrested him at the scene and prosecutors charged him with second-degree murder and prohibited firearm possession. Charging documents and reporting describe a contentious relationship and changing explanations about the weapon. Hayden later pleaded guilty to third-degree murder and was sentenced to 15 years in Hennepin County District Court.

Did anyone in Brooklyn Park at the time remember relevant details about the relationship, the residence on Hampshire Court North, or what happened that night?
