Rene Moore, 42, was shot and killed on January 9, 2020, in the parking lot of the Sunlake at Edgewater Apartments in Huntsville, Alabama. Witnesses saw multiple shots fired. Moore was taken to Huntsville Hospital with life-threatening injuries and did not survive.

Investigators focused on Moore’s ex-boyfriend, 46-year-old Cornett Demetric Evans. The couple had been together three years and separated about three months before the shooting. Moore’s family said Evans had been harassing her; police were called to her home the night before when Evans went there to retrieve belongings. A warrant was issued for Evans’s arrest and a statewide manhunt followed. Officers located him at a Super 8 motel in Birmingham, heard a gunshot inside the room, and found him dead from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

Moore’s family described her as a loving mother of three and a hardworking engineer tech; they said she had planned to seek a restraining order against Evans. Is anyone in the area able to share information about Moore’s last movements or the harassment she reported?
