More details have been released on a Wednesday afternoon
shooting in Hobson City. Authorities say
they believe Johnny Austin Evans shot his girlfriend Wednesday before turning
the gun on himself. Evans was no
stranger to violent crime. The 34 year
old had been convicted of manslaughter in 1998 in connection with the 1996
shooting death of Christopher Jackson.
Evans died Wednesday from a single gunshot wound to the head in the
backyard of his home on Council Avenue in Hobson City. Calhoun County chief
deputy Matthew Wade said Thursday that investigators believe Evans shot his
girlfriend, 22 year old Tuy Kim Truong, of Oxford, twice in his home before
shooting himself. Evans was convicted in
1998 of manslaughter in the shooting death of Christopher Jackson. According to the Alabama Department of
Corrections, Evans was released from prison on parole Jan. 7, 2010. His
sentence was to have ended in 2015.
