Jacob Evans' Horror Imitation

In 2012, 17-year-old Jacob Ryan Evans shot and killed his mother, Jamie Evans, and sister, Mallory Evans, in their Aledo, Texas home. Motivated by a desire to emulate the violence he saw in horror movies, Evans calmly called 911 afterward, expressing shock at the reality of killing compared to his expectations. His flat, monotone voice revealed a deeply disturbed and depressed young man who struggled with the emotional aftermath of his actions. Evans was arrested and charged with capital murder, leading to his life imprisonment without the possibility of parole.
