Texas – In a shocking incident in Texas, a 23-year-old woman, identified as T. Evans, has been arrested and charged with the murder of her 28-year-old boyfriend, identified as G. Montague. The fatal shooting, which occurred in the early hours of February 9, has been driven by jealousy, following Evans’ discovery of messages from another woman on Montague’s cellphone.
The sheriff’s office reported that deputies were called after two people discovered Montague’s body while driving down the road. Montague, who suffered multiple gunshot wounds, was found lying unresponsive near the apartment complex where he resided with his mother. He was pronounced dead at the scene. Sheriff E. Gonzalez described the relationship between Montague and Evans as “volatile,” and indicated that jealousy was a possible motive for the crime. According to authorities, the couple had been in a romantic relationship that Montague’s mother described as “violent.” She also claimed that Evans had previously caused serious injury to her son and that Montague had filed a police report against Evans in December 2024 following threats, though no charges were filed at that time.
Investigators were able to gather crucial evidence from surveillance footage that captured a vehicle matching the description of Evans’ car speeding away from the scene with its headlights off shortly after Montague was shot. This footage became a key piece of evidence in linking Evans to the crime scene. The sequence of events leading to the shooting began a day before the victim’s body was discovered, when Evans and Montague spent several hours together at his apartment. After leaving, Montague realized he had left his cellphone in Evans’ car and called her to inform her. Evans, upon finding the phone, discovered texts from another woman, which fueled a confrontation. Authorities reported that Evans admitted to taking a .45 pistol, returning to confront Montague about the messages, and in the ensuing altercation, where Montague allegedly grabbed her jacket, she shot him multiple times.
During police questioning, Evans confessed to the shooting. She told investigators that after Montague grabbed her, she reacted by shooting him five to six times and then left him in the street. She returned to her home afterward. Her swift arrest followed, and she was charged with murder. The incident has highlighted issues surrounding domestic violence and the tragic outcomes that can emerge from volatile relationships.
As this case progresses, the community and the families involved are left grappling with the ramifications of this tragic event. Montague’s family, particularly his mother, who witnessed the troubled dynamics of his relationship with Evans, must now cope with the irreversible loss of her son. On the other hand, Evans faces a life-changing legal battle and the heavy burden of her actions. The court has scheduled further proceedings, and Evans remains in custody. This case serves as a stark reminder of the devastating impact of domestic violence and the importance of addressing early signs of relationship toxicity.
