In the early morning hours of October 14, 2017, the life of 40-year-old Korry Evins, a male resident of a Forestdale, Alabama, apartment complex, was tragically cut short. The Jefferson County Sheriff's Office launched a homicide investigation after Evins was found shot at the top of a staircase in his apartment building located in the 100 block of Crabapple Lane. Deputies responded to a report of a person shot just before 2:00 a.m.
and discovered Evins, who was pronounced dead at the scene.
According to investigators, it is believed that Evins was confronted by a gunman at the bottom of the stairs as he was approaching his apartment. The motive for the shooting remained a mystery to law enforcement, as there were no immediate indications of a robbery. Evins lived in the apartment with his wife and stepson.
In the months following the incident, the investigation continued, but no suspects were publicly identified, and no arrests were made. The case was described as a tragic and perplexing one, with authorities appealing to the public for any information that could lead to a breakthrough. Evins's family, including his mother, expressed their profound grief and confusion over his death, describing him as a kind and helpful person who did not have any known enemies. The Jefferson County Sheriff's Office and Crime Stoppers have continued to seek information from the community to bring closure to the family. The case of Korry Evins's death is still an ongoing investigation.
