Evelyn Virginia Jay, 90, was one of four family members killed in Meridian, Mississippi, in a multiple homicide that occurred between the evening of December 21 and the morning of December 22, 2020. The other victims were 64-year-old Beverly Kaiser Fulton, 39-year-old April Fulton Tucker, and 14-year-old Bryce Fisher Tucker.

Authorities identified 40-year-old Matthew Jay Tucker as the person believed to have killed his grandmother, his wife, his son, and his mother-in-law. Specific details about how the victims were killed have not been publicly disclosed. After the victims were discovered, Tucker became the primary suspect and later died from what appeared to be a self-inflicted gunshot wound following a police chase.

Tucker had been arrested in late October 2020 on a simple assault-domestic violence charge and was out on bond at the time of the killings. The community held prayer services for the grieving families. If anyone knew Evelyn Jay or has information about the family and those events, please share what you remember.
