Mallory Anne Evans was 15 and lived in Annetta South, Texas. She was described as fun-loving, kind, devoted to her faith, and close with family; she was homeschooled by her mother, Jami Diane Evans, and enjoyed sports and making home videos with friends.

On the morning of October 4, 2012, Mallory and her mother were shot to death by Mallory’s brother, Jacob Evans. Authorities said Jacob had planned the killings for at least two weeks and that the horror movie Halloween had been cited as an influence. Jacob was charged with capital murder and awaiting trial.

The killings devastated the local community, which remembered Mallory and her mother for their faith and warmth. If anyone knew Mallory or the family, or has information about the case, please share what you remember.
