The suspected killer of a Texas real estate agent was denied bond after he allegedly opened fire on her and another man who had briefly touched his Mercedes vehicle.

According to Fox News affiliate, KDFW-TV, 28-year-old Ashlee Long was leaving a local bar in Downtown Dallas on April 5 with a group of friends.

Dallas police said one of the men Long was with “reached out and brushed his hand along the passenger side of a passing Mercedes as they were walking across the street.”

Investigators said that’s when 34-year-old Kendrick Finch got out of the passenger side with a gun and opened fire.

Members of Long and Finch’s families were in attendance.

Video of the shooting was shown during the hearing, capturing the moment the real estate agent was shot.

Henry Long, the father of the victim, released a statement mourning the death of his daughter and calling for Finch to stay in jail.

“Ashlee’s life mattered. And so does justice,” Long wrote on Facebook. “Kendrick Finch must remain behind bars — permanently.

“He made the choice to kill. He should not be given the opportunity to walk free and make that choice again.”

Long said the pain of losing a child is “indescribable.”

“But to lose her this way — to gun violence at the hands of a stranger — is a trauma no family should have to endure,” he wrote. “Kendrick Finch made the choice to take her life. He didn’t just end her future — he shattered the lives of everyone who loved her.”
