On Saturday, July 28, 2018, 10-year-old Chevy Jace Redus Christopher of Athens, Alabama, was killed in an incident described by law enforcement as a double homicide and suicide that also claimed the life of 84-year-old Betty Sue Christopher. Chevy, born April 4, 2008, was a student at Cowart Elementary School. The determination that the person responsible was also deceased meant no arrests were made and investigators did not identify any outside suspects.

Chevy was remembered in an obituary as a beloved son, survived by his mother, Nancy Christopher. Funeral services were held the following Friday at the Spry Funeral Home Chapel, with burial in Roselawn Cemetery. If anyone knew Chevy or has information about what happened that day, please share what can help the family and investigators.
