“I stand with you in prayer and believing that we will see a brighter day,” Evans said.
Evans specifically recognized the recent homicides of Eddie Suez, Stephen Addison and Jason Walker.
Evans made a point that he was doing the press conference on his own and not as a part of the County Commission. Evans also spoke about being at the protest Sunday night where people demanded justice for Walker’s death.
“It's my responsibility and my duty to let them know that I am here for them. And whatever it takes, whatever I can do to help them, during these difficult times, I am here,” Evans said.
When it comes to Walker’s death and the state investigation, Evans says that he believes that the North Carolina State Bureau of Investigation will thoroughly investigate the case and that justice will be served.
“I believe that our law enforcement and legal system, along with the assistance of the community, can bring those who are committing these crimes to justice,” Evans said. “It is my hope that every family is given the opportunity to see fairness and justice prevail. During times like this, we must unite instead of standing alone.”
When asked about the transparency of local law enforcement agencies and if he would bring forward the idea of an accountability board to Cumberland County’s Sheriff’s Office, he says he has no problem with the idea, but right now he is focusing on the families who are hurting.
“The one thing that I am here today is not to question the ability of our law enforcement officers but to let the citizens that have been involved in these unfortunate acts of crime know that this elected office, their county commissioner, is just as concerned about what transpires in this investigation,” Evans said.
Evans was elected to the Cumberland County Board of Commissioners as an at-large representative in 2010 and was re-elected in 2014 and 2018. His current term expires in 2022 and he is now planning to campaign for the new seat of North Carolina Congressional District 4.
