Share this @internewscast.com

A glamorous Texas realtor was killed during a tense clash that all began with the innocent brush of a Mercedes Benz. 

Ashlee Long, 28, was shot dead on April 5 while visiting Dallas for a work conference.

She was out with a friend in the early hours, around 2:30 am, when her companion tapped a white Mercedes as it drove by, which caused the driver to stop the vehicle.

The driver, Kendrick Finch, then emerged with a 9mm handgun.  

Footage of the incident shows Long’s friend, William Kistler, 36, reaching for Long’s purse, which had his gun in it. 

Kistler struggled with Long, as she tried to hold him back but he was eventually able to retrieve his .40 caliber pistol from her bag.

Ashlee Long, a relator in the Houston area, had traveled to Dallas for work. She was out with a male companion the night she was murdered, according to police

At that point, Finch started shooting at the pair on a busy street filled with shops, restaurants and apartment buildings, striking Long in the process. 

Kistler, who was able to fire three shots from his weapon, was also hit and was taken to the hospital while Finch fled. 

Finch called police hours later, according to local  station Fox 4, and identified himself as the shooter. However, it wasn’t until April 18 when he turned himself over to investigators. 

His previous criminal records include drug and burglary charges, the TV station reported. 

Despite Finch fleeing from the crime scene, his lawyer claims Kistler is to blame for the shooting. 

‘We know for sure Ashlee Long would be alive today except for William Kistler. William Kistler is the one who started everything that night it showed in the video,’ her attorney stated in court.

Long was engaged to her high school sweetheart, Jacob Underwood, according to her online obituary

Ashlee graduated in 2019 from the University of Houston with a Bachelor’s Degree in Business Administration

Kendrick Finch fled the scene of the April 5 shooting, even though he is now claiming self defense. He turned himself over to police April 18

Ashlee Long's life was celebrated on April 14 at a memorial in Richmond, Texas near Houston

Realtor Ashlee Long was shot and killed on April 5, allegedly by Kendrick Dinch 

‘We don’t have the toxicology report yet of these two individuals, but I can bet where that’s going to end up. 

‘He’s trying to fight random people on the street and then my client’s car. Driving by at a normal rate of speed gets hit.’

Finch was only defending himself, his lawyer added.

‘When (Kistler) takes those steps towards my client, my client has every right under the law to defend himself.’

Long’s family declined to speak to the media after a court hearing Wednesday, but had previously told local reporters their daughter was in the wrong place at the wrong time. 

‘I’m still in a fog. I just feel like I’m in a daze every day,’ Michelle Long, Ashlee’s mother told the outlet in April.
