Shortly after 11 p.m. on Wednesday, the West Haven man’s son called police to report that his father Russell Allen Evans had been shot. When officers arrived, they found Evans outside his home suffering from multiple gunshot wounds, according to a probable cause statement.Evans’ son told police he heard “popping sounds” after his father went out on the back porch. When he looked outside, he saw a man he believed was his uncle with his arm outstretched as if he were holding a gun.

When police went to the uncle’s home in Roy, he told them there was a gun in his truck, and officers arrested him without incident. After agreeing to speak with police, the man told investigators that he drove to his brother-in-law’s home and waited in the backyard for Evans to come outside, according to a probable cause statement.
