ABINGDON, Md. (AP) — Authorities say the man who recently shot and killed two sheriff’s deputies was wanted for questioning in the shooting of his ex-wife nearly two decades ago, but detectives were unable to find him.
Hartford County Sheriff’s Office spokeswoman Cristie Kahler told The Baltimore Sun that David Brian Evans, 68, was suspected in the 1996 shooting of Elizabeth Rupp, but there wasn’t enough evidence to arrest him.
Rupp, who survived, was shot in the neck as she left her Abingdon home for work. Kahler says detectives searched for months, trying to locate Evans for questioning, but he was never found.
Police say Evans fatally shot Deputy Patrick Dailey in a restaurant Wednesday and killed another deputy, Mark Logsdon, before he was killed himself in a shootout.
