Woman Ended Relationship After Ex Choked Her. When Her Parents Tried to Help Her Move Out, He Shot Them

Smajlovic was sentenced to life in prison after pleading guilty to murder and attempted murder on Nov. 21, 2025.
The killings occurred as Robison and her parents tried to help her move out after she ended the relationship.
Prosecutors said Smajlovic told a judge, 'I grabbed the 9-millimeter and shot Ruth in the head,' indicating the fatal intent.
Jasmyn Robison testified at the sentencing, recalling her mother’s bravery and the impact of the tragedy.
The incident began after Robison ended the relationship following a history described as a 'dreadful nine years' by prosecutors.
Polk County prosecutors noted the violence extended to the parents who were trying to assist the move-out process.
The sentencing marked a conclusion of a case that drew regional crime coverage and updates from People magazine.
The court documents indicate the attack happened in Des Moines, Iowa, in late 2024, leading to a life sentence in 2025.
The case underscores the dangers of domestic violence and threats to family safety in the context of relationship breakups.
