Tristen Shifflett, 37, was fatally shot in the neck during a dispute with her boyfriend, Justin Kyle Marshall, on Christmas Day 2021 at a residence on South Burhans Boulevard in Hagerstown, Maryland. About 10 people were present at the evening gathering, including the couple’s young son. First responders found Shifflett wounded and she was taken to Meritus Medical Center, where she died.

Marshall, 34, fled after the shooting and was arrested in the early hours of December 26 in Berkeley County, West Virginia. He faced a first-degree murder charge and other related counts; he also had an active warrant for a separate assault involving Shifflett in Pennsylvania. Washington County Child Protective Services took custody of the couple’s son after the incident. Marshall had been released from prison roughly two years earlier following a 2004 conviction for second-degree murder in a separate Hagerstown homicide.

Does anyone have information about the events at that South Burhans Boulevard gathering or contacts who knew Tristen Shifflett?
