The tragic shooting at Prince Law Firm in Las Vegas last week, which resulted in the deaths of Ashley Prince and her husband Dennis, has left their families devastated. Ashley was involved in a custody battle with her ex-husband, Dylan Houston, and had been living in constant fear for her safety and that of her children. Despite efforts to obtain protection through the court system, the situation escalated to a violent outcome. The shooting was carried out by Joe Houston II, Dylan’s father, who then turned the gun on himself. The Pages, Ashley’s parents, revealed that Dylan had subjected Ashley to relentless threats and abuse, causing her to fear for her life on a daily basis.
The Pages shared some of the text messages that Dylan had sent to Ashley, including threatening messages that instilled fear in her. Ashley had even obtained a restraining order against Dylan at one point, but the violence that occurred during the custody hearing ultimately led to the deaths of Ashley and Dennis. The Pages are determined to seek full custody of their grandchildren to ensure their safety and well-being following the tragedy. While they are cooperating with law enforcement in the investigation, they are also looking to honor Dennis’s philanthropic legacy by recommending contributions to organizations that assist victims of domestic violence.
The Houston family expressed shock and devastation over the tragic events, stating that they never could have imagined their father, Joe Houston II, perpetrating such violence. They emphasized their commitment to focusing on the needs of the children involved in the custody dispute and refraining from public accusations. Dylan is described as a dedicated father who is focused on the welfare of his children, and the family hopes for healing and reconciliation in the aftermath of the shooting. While Dylan was previously listed as a partner at a law firm in Las Vegas, his name has since been removed from the website, and he has not provided comments to the media regarding the incident.
The shooting has shaken the Las Vegas legal community and highlighted the dangers of domestic disputes escalating to violence. Both families involved in the tragedy are grappling with grief and loss, while also seeking justice for the victims. The Pages have called attention to the impact of domestic violence on families and are determined to prevent such tragedies from happening again. Memorial services have been held for Dennis, with donations being encouraged to organizations supporting victims of domestic violence. As the investigation continues, the families are looking towards the future, particularly for the well-being of the children affected by the shooting.
