Man accused of shooting friend is indicted

DAYTON — A Dayton man accused of killing his neighbor and friend last week was indicted Friday, Aug. 20 on an aggravated murder charge.

The grand jury also charged Kevin Eugene Evans, Jr. with three counts of aggravated robbery and one count of discharge of a firearm on or near prohibited premises. All of those charges are first-degree felonies, punishable by up to 10 years in prison, while the aggravated murder charge is unclassified and could result in a life sentence.

Evans, 20, was arrested Aug. 13 for the alleged robbery and slaying of Justin Valentinte, 21.

Valentine was shot several times during an Aug. 12 armed robbery near Lexington and Glendale avenues around 11:30 p.m. The Montgomery County coroner ruled the cause of death as a gunshot wound to the back.

“We were real good friends. It was stupid,” Evans said Aug. 13 while being escorted in handcuffs into the Montgomery County Jail. “I apologize (to his family). I hope they forgive me.”
