A fight in Colerain Township turned especially ugly when a victim was punched in the face several times and then bitten, according to Cincinnati police, who say they are now searching for 23-year-old Jevoy Evans in connection with the April 19 incident.
What police say happened
According to WKRC, Evans is wanted on a felonious assault charge tied to the April 19 altercation. The station reports that a photo of Evans, credited to the Hamilton County Sheriff's Office, has been circulated to help locate him. Police told WKRC that Evans was last known to live in Colerain Township and has a history of “failure to comply.”
Same name, earlier felony case
Local coverage shows that a man with the same name has appeared in serious court cases before. In May 2023, WLWT reported that a Jevoy Evans was charged with felonious assault after allegedly firing a shot from an apartment balcony in Reading. Police have not said whether the individual in that earlier case is the same person now being sought in the Colerain assault.
