On August 15, 2019, 28-year-old Evan Richard Yonker was ambushed and fatally shot inside his Dalton Township home after returning from work. Yonker, a father of two who lived in Twin Lake and worked in Fremont, was confronted by an intruder who had broken into the house earlier that day and hidden while waiting for him.

After the killing, Berry forced the woman to drive him away; authorities later tracked him to Grand Haven State Park where he entered Lake Michigan and was pulled from the water and taken into custody.

Prosecutors said the attack was motivated by jealousy over Yonker’s relationship with the woman; the defense urged a manslaughter theory at trial, citing heat-of-passion. The jury was shown evidence of a prolonged wait and preparations before the shooting. Did anyone in the area know Evan or have information about his last day that could help the case?
