Jami Diane Stavens Evans, 48, was shot and killed in Annetta South, Texas, on October 4, 2012. An educator in the Aledo School District for more than 15 years, she was active in her church and community and was homeschooling her youngest children at the time of her death. Family and friends remembered her as gentle, caring, and generous.

According to authorities, Jami’s 17-year-old son, Jake Evans, called 911 early that morning and reported that he had shot Jami and his 15-year-old sister, Mallory. Jake was arrested at the scene without incident and charged with capital murder. Investigators, including the Texas Rangers and the Parker County Sheriff’s Criminal Investigation Division, reported that Jake acted alone and no other suspects were identified. A judge denied bond to Jake during the initial proceedings.

If anyone knew Jami or Mallory, or has information about the events that morning, please come forward with what you remember.
