On August 5, 2014, Robert Ashbourne, 46, of Mount Vernon, New York, was found unconscious behind the wheel of his car after it drifted through an intersection and struck a parked vehicle in Jersey City. Responders discovered he had been shot in the neck and he was pronounced dead at the scene. Ashbourne was a father of nine and worked as a limousine driver for high-profile clients.

The Hudson County Prosecutor’s Office concluded the fatal shot was fired while Ashbourne sat inside his car; the vehicle then rolled forward and struck the parked car. Investigation attention turned to his ex-girlfriend, Cheryl Nisbett of New York City. A Hudson County grand jury indicted Nisbett on murder charges in June 2015, and she was taken into custody in New York. She fought extradition for several months and first appeared in New Jersey court in October 2015.

In February 2017 Nisbett pleaded guilty to aggravated manslaughter, a lesser charge that carried a possible prison term of up to 10 years. Does anyone have information about Ashbourne’s life or movements in Jersey City on August 5, 2014?
