Roger Michael Evans, a 47-year-old man from Candler, North Carolina, died of a gunshot wound on December 23, 2020, after a night of drinking and an argument with his girlfriend, Shannon Daves. The couple had been in a turbulent relationship for more than six years, and the incident was recorded on a pet camera that captured part of what happened that night.

Daves, then 49, was charged with first-degree murder. At trial, her attorney said she shot Evans in self-defense, claiming he had been in a drunken rage and threatened to kill her. Prosecutors argued the shooting was deliberate and tied it to Evans wanting to end the relationship. Jurors heard audio from the pet camera and a 911 call Daves made after the shooting in which she was crying and screaming.

If anyone knew Roger, Shannon, or was in the area that night and can help fill in gaps, please share what was seen or heard.
