Ryan Edward Ashlock, 42, was found dead in his pickup truck from gunshot wounds on the morning of November 16, 2019, near McKinley and Branch Roads in Toppenish, Washington. Deputies from the Yakima County Sheriff’s Office and Yakama Nation Police responded after a shooting was reported; Ashlock was pronounced dead at the scene.

During the emergency response Ashlock called 911 and named his son as the shooter before losing consciousness. Officers located 20-year-old Anthony Ashlock about a third of a mile from the scene; he was taken into custody without incident and later charged with second-degree murder in connection with his father’s death.

The case has left the Toppenish community confronting a parent and child linked to the same lethal event. Does anyone who knew the Ashlock family or who was in that area on November 16 have information that could shed light on what happened?
