Richard Byrd Evans, 69, was shot to death in his San Antonio home on February 3, 2024. Police say Evans was found with a gunshot wound to the back of his head after officers entered the residence.

The person charged in connection with the killing is his wife, 61-year-old Melissa Johnson Byrd. She was arrested and booked on Tuesday, February 6, 2024, on murder charges. Authorities have suggested Byrd may have been experiencing delusional paranoia and allegedly mistook her husband for an intruder when the shooting occurred.

The circumstances raise questions about how misidentification and acute mental disturbance can lead to fatal outcomes inside a home. Does anyone have information about the family, their home, or what led up to that night that could help clarify what happened?
