The man accused in the shooting death of a Rocky Mountain House woman and attempted murder of her sister is going to trial.

Marshall Lawrence Stone, 45, is charged with second-degree murder and attempted murder with a firearm.

It was just after 7:30 p.m. on July 26 when Rocky Mountain House RCMP responded to several 9-1-1 complaints of a male with a gun in a residence.

Police arrived at the home to find Ashley Smith-Ames dead and her sister, Alexis Ames, suffering from non-life threatening injuries. Three children inside the home were not hurt.

Stone was not there when police arrived but later turned himself into RCMP.

An autopsy determined that Smith-Ames, who was 28, had been shot during what police described as a “domestic situation.”

The case was in court on Wednesday where a preliminary hearing was waived and a judge and jury trial elected.

Trial dates have not yet been scheduled.
