Christopher Evans, 38, was killed in a violent sequence that began late on Thursday, November 8, 2018. Evans was working on his girlfriend’s Chevrolet Tahoe outside their Slidell, Louisiana, home when a fleeing man, later identified as 29-year-old Justin Cox, encountered him. Investigators say Cox shot Evans in the head, placed his body in the Tahoe, and drove off; the Tahoe’s keys were later found in Cox’s pocket.

Earlier that night Cox had shot his 43-year-old mother in the chest and left her at Slidell Memorial Hospital; she was expected to survive. Cox abandoned his own vehicle and, after taking Evans’ Tahoe, drove to the apartment of 26-year-old Jamile Robinson. Robinson told police he believed Cox intended to rob or kill him, and an altercation followed. Police found Cox with a gunshot wound at the complex around 4:30 a.m. Friday; he was taken to a hospital and later died. Officers discovered Evans’ body inside the Tahoe while investigating that shooting. Robinson was not charged in Cox’s death but was arrested on unrelated drug and firearms charges.

Does anyone have information about Evans, his activities that night, or who might have seen the Tahoe between midnight and 4:30 a.m.?
