The Ada Police Department has arrested Kristie Dawnell Evans and her accomplice, Kahlil Square, just days after pastor David Charles Evans was shot dead.
What We Know:
- Evans initially claimed that an intruder had entered the couple’s home and shot her husband. Authorities announced on Friday that she had lied and admitted to being involved in the murder. Her confession came after police revealed that they had security footage of the other suspect’s vehicle parked outside of the home address on numerous occasions. Neighbors reported that they had seen Kahlil Square’s white mustang over at their house for several days.
- Square and Mrs. Evans had an intimate relationship, which originally included David as well. Kristie reportedly told authorities during questioning that she and her husband had been sexually involved with 26-year-old Square in events leading up to the incident. The trio first met a few months ago at a Super 8 motel for a threesome, and afterward, Kristie and Square carried on with an affair in secret. After some time, she asked Square to shoot her husband, David, in their home with his own gun.
- Kristie fell pressure to security footage that implicated Square and confessed to authorities that she arranged for Square to come over and murder David. She gave him her husband’s gun and waited in the living room while he shot her husband. After the shooting, Kristie called the Ada Police Department at around 1 a.m, and when they arrived, David was found severely injured and was eventually pronounced dead at the scene.
- As for motive, Kristie complained to both Square and authorities that David was allegedly a controlling and verbally abusive individual. David was the pastor at Harmony Church Ada and had just returned home from a mission trip to Mexico. The couple has three adult children together, and there have not been any statements from them as of yet. Kristie Dawnell Evans and Kahlil Square were both charged with first-degree murder on Thursday.
There are currently no witnesses that can back up Kristie’s claims of abuse from her husband.
