Jamie Lee Bevins Jr, 27, was shot and killed in the early hours of Sunday, June 9, 2019, at a residence northeast of Detroit Lakes. He was from the White Earth, Minnesota area and is remembered by family and friends as Honker, a father to daughter Shaylin Bevins and son Brenton St. Clair, and someone who loved music, wood burning, drawing and riding bikes, four-wheelers and cars.

The Becker County Sheriff’s Office identified an 18-year-old suspect, Ronald Wayne Elias Thompson III, and issued a public alert noting he was potentially armed and dangerous and had outstanding felony gun warrants and parole violations. A manhunt followed and Thompson was later arrested.

Court action in the case proceeded, and on July 7, 2020, Thompson was sentenced for homicide. Does anyone who knew Jamie remember him as Honker or have information about his life that could help preserve his memory?
