A Texas woman has been charged with murder after she allegedly shot and killed her army veteran boyfriend over text messages the victim received from another woman.
Per ABC13, Tatyana Lashea Evans allegedly gunned Geovanni Montague, 28, down on February 9 at an apartment complex in northwest Harris County. The incident is said to have occurred after Evans went through Montague’s phone and confronted him about messages she saw from a different woman.
“Montague was found deceased in the street, having sustained multiple gunshot wounds. Montague and Evans were reportedly involved in a volatile relationship,” Harris County Sheriff Ed Gonzalez said in a statement.

“The victim (Montague) has been described as a decorated Army veteran and was currently working for Amazon. We extend our condolences to his family.”
Evans appeared in court on February 12, and the magistrate judge scolded her for actions while in court. “You claimed Mr. Montague grabbed at you, grabbed at your jacket…but then you then shot Mr. Montague five or six times. (Interruption) Ma’am, please be quiet and listen to me. I’m telling you what the police report says in front of me,” the judge said.
Montague’s mother also said the incident was not the first time Evans had subjected her son to an act of violence.
