Patrolman Evans returned fire but did not strike the suspect. Patrolman Evans was transported to a local hospital where he succumbed to his wound approximately eight hours later. The man fled and was never positively identified or apprehended. Patrolman Evans was a United States Army veteran and had served with the Youngstown Police Department for nine years.

Tributes

I served 1985 to 1993. You served too, before the badge - different uniform, same idea. You go where you are sent and you do not get to pick the call.
Patrolman Evans gave the Youngstown Police Department 9 years.
Thank you for your service to the Youngstown community, and for your service before it. Gone but never to be forgotten.
Rest easy, brother.
