Douglas Wayne Evans, 51, was shot to death in Houston on August 29, 2010, around 3:10 a.m. He had driven to 400 East 43rd Street after picking up a friend; both men exited the vehicle and were talking when a red Jeep Cherokee, possibly with body damage, approached. The Jeep contained at least four people, including a Black female driver and additional unknown occupants. Evans’ friend left, heard a gunshot, and on returning found Evans in the street with a fatal gunshot wound to the head.

The Houston Police Department Homicide Division handled the investigation, but suspect descriptions remained vague and motives were unknown. The attackers were last seen driving eastbound on East 43rd Street toward Oxford. Family and friends mourned Evans’ sudden death and his memorial page noted his community ties. Anyone with information about that night or the red Jeep is asked to come forward.?
