Charles Evans, 43, was fatally shot after an altercation on a METRO bus in Houston on April 24, 2023. The confrontation began around midnight when Evans and a 22-year-old man fought on the bus; witnesses said Evans struck the younger man multiple times. Both were ejected near the 4700 block of Scott Street, where the younger man produced a firearm and shot Evans multiple times before fleeing on foot. Evans was taken to a hospital and pronounced dead.

Houston police later released surveillance footage showing the suspect boarding the METRO bus and asked the public for help identifying him. On May 1 the 22-year-old voluntarily went to authorities and gave a statement consistent with witness accounts. After consultation with the Harris County District Attorney’s Office, the case was referred to a grand jury to consider potential charges; no formal charges had been filed as of the latest information. If anyone saw the incident or knows more about what happened on that bus, please come forward.
