It’s been one year since a man and his girlfriend were found murdered in their Madison County home, yet still no arrests have been made.
The scene of the double murder on Valley Street has left Horace Evans with nightmares ever since.
“What I saw in there, it was just like evil, hate, and I don’t know what it was, but it was just horrible,” said Evans.
Evans will never forget discovering his brother, Avery Boochie Evans, and his brother’s girlfriend, Karen Simpson, victims of a brutal murder, when he visited their home June 27th, 2014.

“Unimaginable. I wouldn’t wish that on you or anybody to find a family member like that,” said Evans.
Richmond police have been investigating since that day a year ago, and this week they even offered a $5,000 reward for answers in the case. Still, no arrests have been made. That’s why Horace is finally talking about what he knows from last summer.
“I’m just pleading with the community here. If you have any information that would lead to an arrest, I and the family would greatly appreciate that,” he said.
He says he wants to know more about a group of neighbors from Detroit who quickly moved away after the murder.
“They did have trouble with the neighbors that used to live down the street. It was probably six or seven months prior to their murders. Somebody had stolen their pit bull,” said Evans.
Horace says Boochie retrieved his pit bull from the neighbors, but used racial slurs towards them that day. He says shortly after that, Boochie and Karen were found murdered and the neighbors moved away.
“I think it would give us a sense of closure if we could find somebody–put a face on the evil. Of course it wouldn’t bring them back, but it would probably make me feel a lot better,” he said.
If you have information on the murders, call the Richmond Police Department.
