Court documents show Ashley had obtained restraining orders against her mother and sister prior to the deadly incident, CBS 58 out of Milwaukee reported. In a 2023 petition, Ashley said she was "not safe" and "fearing for my life." "This is what she'd been saying for the longest, basically, in ways. But we never knew that they would do this to her. Like this," Shamira McGhee, another sister of Ashley, told the outlet. Ashley's mother had also filed restraining orders against her daughter, alleging in a 2019 petition Ashley "pulled a knife from my kitchen on me" and "threw a brick and it hit me in my left side." Ashley's mother, Tara Hudson, has denied any involvement in comments to CBS 58. She confirmed that a dispute broke out between her children prior to the shooting. "I was begging them to leave. Leave her alone, let her go. And my kids just refused to," Tara said. What To Know Analyssa Thompson, a friend of Ashley, told WTMJ-TV out of Milwaukee that a gunman shot Ashley, then fled the scene. "He put it up to her, and she said, 'Don't shoot me' and he shot her." Thompson said. "She stumbled all the way over here, and she fell on the floor, and she just like she just sat there shaking, and it wasn't fair to her." Savannah asked the public to refrain from disseminating the video on social media. "I really would appreciate if people would just stop sharing the video and making the negative comments about the situation because that's not doing anything, [not] helping our family," Savannah said. What People Are Saying Savannah Hudson, cousin of Ashley Hudson, in comments to FOX6 News Milwaukee: "She was brave. She was fun. She always is the life of the party, made people smile." Antoine McGhee, Sr., father of Ashley Hudson, in comments to CBS 58: "She was my daughter. She had her problems, but that was my daughter and I loved her to death." What Happens Next The Milwaukee Police Department continues to investigate the incident. Police said criminal charges will be referred to the Milwaukee County District Attorney's Office.
