On Wednesday, May 18, 2022, at approximately 10:18am, Fall River Police Communications received a
911 call about a shooting in the Corky Row neighborhood. Uniform Division Officers arrived on scene and
quickly determined that gunshots had been fired in the vicinity of Second and Wade Streets.
Officers and
Detectives from the Major Crimes Division began to canvas the area speaking with witnesses and viewing
surveillance video.
Based on the investigation by lead Detective Cheyenne Fortin, it appears that there were no injuries from
this incident. Detectives were able to determine that a confrontation had taken place between three black
males. At some point two of the males take off running when the third male brandished a handgun and
started shooting at the males running from him.
Detectives were able to determine that the male suspect had entered a Second St. business called “OhKay
Soul”, which had a sign on the door indicating it was closed. Several people were standing outside of the
business one of whom identified herself (Stephanie Micklos, 34 years of age) as the renter of the property
and business owner. Another women present, Alison Dill (37 years of age) identified herself as a friend of
Micklos. These people were brought to the Fall River Police Station to speak with detectives.
A short time later a male was spotted by Ofc. Jonathan Souza, who was watching the property, exiting
OhKay Soul. The male was identified as Kayvon Ashton (36 years of age). Ashton was placed under arrest
due to outstanding warrants while the investigation into the shooting continued.
Based on facts learned during the investigation a search warrant was granted by an Assistant Clerk
Magistrate of the Second (Fall River) District Court for the business identified as OhKay Soul, 394 Second
St. Detectives conducted a search of the business and recovered clothing worn by the shooter during the
incident along with a loaded Glock .40 caliber pistol and 22 round extended magazine. An investigation in
to the status of the firearm is ongoing.
As the investigation unfolded it was determined that Kayvon Ashton was the male responsible for the
shooting. Additionally, the evidence shows that Alison Dill and Stephanie Micklos mislead detectives
during the investigation. All three have been arrested.
