Johnathan Austin Evans, 34, was found dead in the backyard of a residence on Council Avenue in Hobson City, Alabama, on January 8, 2014, the result of a single fatal gunshot wound to the head. Authorities say Evans was the aggressor in a prior shooting that seriously injured his 22-year-old girlfriend, Kim Truong, who was shot twice and taken to a local hospital before transfer to UAB Hospital in Birmingham for further treatment. The Calhoun County Sheriff’s Office investigated the motive for the attack.

Evans was on parole at the time of his death after a 1998 manslaughter conviction in the 1996 shooting death of Christopher Jackson; he had been released on parole January 7, 2010, and his sentence was scheduled to end in 2015. No arrests were made in connection with the incident. Funeral services were held January 16, 2014, at Gaines Chapel AME Church, with burial at Eden Hills Cemetery.

Does anyone have information about Evans, Kim Truong, or the events in Hobson City that morning?
