On May 3, 2004, 19-year-old Sasha J. Carter, a Black/African American woman, was shot and killed while sitting in a parked car with a friend, Jimmy Hayes, at a Milwaukee gas station. Two men, Kevin D. Evans and an accomplice, Anthony Hardy Jr., targeted the vehicle for its expensive 20-inch Helo Kick chrome rims. During the confrontation one of the assailants warned that an occupant was reaching into the back seat; Kevin D. Evans then fired into the car, fatally wounding Sasha. Jimmy Hayes was not physically harmed.

The attackers stole the car, later removed the rims and tires, and set the vehicle on fire. A tip from Hayes that the rims were being sold from a tan Chevrolet Malibu led police to Evans, who was arrested while driving a similarly described car. Evans, then 23, and his 17-year-old accomplice Anthony Hardy Jr. were charged in connection with the case. Evans pleaded guilty to first-degree reckless homicide while armed, as a party to a crime, and received a minimum sentence of 45 years in prison plus 20 years of extended supervision.

If anyone knew Sasha, her movements that day, or has information about the sale of those rims, please come forward.
