DeKalb County: District Attorney General Issues Statement On Fatal Shooting
In the early morning hours of December 4, 2025, Deputies with the Dekalb County Sheriff’s Office responded to a call involving a shooting on Smithville Highway in the area of Captain’s Point Road. Upon arrival, deputies found a deceased adult female in the roadway with apparent gun shot wounds. A loaded and cocked handgun was lying next to her body; that firearm was determined to belong to the woman. The woman was later identified as Ashleigh E. McKinzie, age 41. An adult male, later identified as Todd C. Stanton, age 27 was also on scene upon the deputies’ arrival. A handgun determined to belong to Stanton was found on the hood of his truck. He is cooperating with investigators.
I requested that the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation join the investigation. Both agencies are actively working together to determine the circumstances and nature of the incident. No criminal charges have been taken at this time. Investigators are currently working diligently to determine the facts so that a full evaluation will be made.

Rutherford/Murfreesboro: City of Murfreesboro Files Lawsuit To Prevent BFI From Circumventing State Law
BFI has chosen to attempt to circumvent the normal statutory and regulatory obligations required by law and has filed an application with the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation (“TDEC”) for a significant vertical expansion of Middle Point Landfill. This vertical expansion requests placing a 70-foot high landfill on top of the existing landfill, adding an estimated 19 million tons of waste to the existing landfill. According to BFI’s projections, this would extend the site life of the landfill by an additional 14 years to 2046 and result in 39 percent more garbage being added to the landfill.
In filing this application with TDEC, BFI has circumvented the statutory process which allows for local review and public comment. In turn, BFI has effectively deprived the citizens of Murfreesboro and Rutherford County to weigh in on this vertical expansion, which is the very community this expansion would affect.
The Central Tennessee Regional Solid Waste Planning Board and the City of Murfreesboro, Tennessee filed this lawsuit Monday evening in the Rutherford County Chancery Court asking the Court to force BFI to comply with its legal obligations. This proposed expansion comes after the City has expressed numerous concerns regarding the environmental safety of the landfill on Rutherford County citizens. Most recently, the Middle Point Landfill received an alarming seven environmental violations in just the last year and the City has received more than 4,000 complaints related to odor at the landfill from the public portal. In the pending federal lawsuit against Republic and BFI, the City sent notices of additional and continued violations of the Clean Water Act and Clean Air Act due to test results showing continued discharges of landfill leachate into the East Fork Stones River, which provides drinking water for Rutherford County and City of Murfreesboro residents.
