Kings rookie Tyreke Evans sued over fatal shooting from car he was driving; cousin convicted

Kings G Evans sued over Pa. shooting death

PHILADELPHIA — Sacramento Kings rookie Tyreke Evans is being sued over a fatal shooting committed by a teenage cousin in his vehicle.

Evans is among four people being sued over the November 2007 drive-by shooting near his home in Chester, just south of Philadelphia.

Jamar Evans is serving a nine- to 20-year prison term after admitting he fired out the passenger-side door and killed 19-year-old Marcus Reason. Jamar Evans was 16 at the time.

Tyreke Evans was then a highly recruited high school player. He later played one season for the University of Memphis before jumping to the NBA.

Reason’s family is seeking more than $50,000 in the wrongful-death suit filed in Delaware County.
