Terry Evans Jr, a 36-year-old man from Azle, Texas, was shot and killed on June 21, 2022, in southwest Houston after an incident at Carter’s Country store. Surveillance footage shown in reports depicts Evans taking money from the register and then attempting to flee; he was shot in the back by 58-year-old store employee Mark Winger as he ran out. Video evidence and the Evans family’s attorney, Jason Gibson, say Evans was unarmed and held only a Styrofoam cup when he was shot multiple times.

Investigators found that no one from the store called 911 immediately after the shooting and that the initial account given to police was misleading. Winger has claimed self-defense, while family members and civil-rights leaders have raised concerns about the use of deadly force to protect property and possible racial and mental-health dimensions to the case. A grand jury later indicted Winger on murder charges.
