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.
