Lori Evans, 45, of Joshua, Texas, died on January 4, 2014, at a Fort Worth hospital after being shot during what investigators described as a robbery. Born June 20, 1968, in Phillipsburg, Pennsylvania, she was the daughter of Robert and Gloria Eminhizer Zelenky and is survived by her husband, George Womack, and her children Ashley Wedeman and Jared Packard. A memorial service was held on January 14, 2014, at Victory Family Church in Burleson.

The death became the subject of a criminal prosecution. Joshua Evans was arrested and charged with capital murder; prosecutors argued the shooting occurred during a robbery and that evidence at trial established intent to kill while committing the theft. Court filings and the trial debated the legality of the traffic stop that led to Evans’ arrest, the admissibility of his statements, and the sufficiency of the evidence. Procedural errors were raised, but the conviction was upheld and a life sentence imposed.

If anyone knew Lori, her family, or witnessed the events around January 4, 2014, does anyone have additional information to share?
