How they died
Deadly force
Deputy James Doty shot Shawn D. Evans after he allegedly pointed a handgun at him following a chase. Doty had pursued Evans, who was driving a van, into Pettis County because he believed Evans was a burglary suspect. After he fired the fatal shot, Doty fell into a culvert on the side of the highway while pursuing Evans on foot. Evans was found about 70 yards away and later pronounced dead. Earlier reports that Evans had fired at Doty turned out to be inaccurate, investigators said.
