A welfare check on July 5, 2025, at an apartment on Old Shocco Road in Talladega, Alabama, revealed four people shot dead, including 27-year-old Jamari Evans. Evans, known to family and friends as Black, had trained at Tulsa Welding School in Jacksonville, Florida, and worked as a welder in multiple states; he was reportedly visiting his home community between contracts when he was killed.

Evans’s family remembers him for his lively spirit, laughter, love of music and dancing, and strong ties to family and friends. The other victims were identified as Querida Flores, Nicholas Keith, and Jeffreon Keith. Talladega Police opened an intensive homicide investigation; in the initial days there were no arrests and no immediate suspects.

CrimeStoppers offered a $5,000 reward for information leading to an arrest. Anyone with information about the killings is asked to come forward. Do readers who knew Jamari or the others have any information that could help investigators?
