Antonio Jose ’Joe’ Sapinoso, 34, a Greenville County Deputy Sheriff, was killed at his home on Chetsworth Lane on the night of April 2, 2003. Evans allegedly disarmed the deputy, used his handcuffs to restrain him, and forced him inside the residence.

A standoff followed that involved SWAT and negotiators for nearly five hours while family members, including Sapinoso’s mother and a seven-year-old nephew, hid upstairs. Evans reportedly took Sapinoso’s father, Antonio L. Sapinoso, hostage as well. After talks that appeared to be moving toward a surrender, Evans opened fire and fatally shot both Antonio Jose Sapinoso and his father in the head; Evans then surrendered to the team outside.

The community and the Sheriff’s Office mourned the loss of a deputy and his father. Does anyone have information about the family, the timeline that night, or the people involved that could add details to the record?
