STRONGSVILLE – Dash cam footage from the fatal shooting of Roy Dale Evans Jr. by a Strongsville police patrolman on Interstate 71 in Medina Township sheds more light on the March 7 incident.

Strongsville police officers attempted to pull Evans over on Pearl Road in the city of Strongsville, but he led them on a high speed pursuit ending near state Route 3 on southbound I-71.

The video recorded by an Ohio State Highway Patrol trooper who assisted Strongsville police shows the van driven by Evans running over stop sticks.

An officer can be heard yelling, “Let me see your hands. Let me see your hands” seconds before shots were fired.

Following the shooting, Amanda Pauley, Evans’ longtime girlfriend, is heard pleading, “Oh my God. Please don’t let him die.”

Investigators said a woman and three children in the vehicle and were unharmed.

Pauley asks that her children be brought to her.

“Can someone bring me my babies?” she says.

Later, she says, “I told him to pull over.”

Officers discuss bringing the children to their mother in a patrol vehicle.

One of the children is heard crying, “I want my mommy. I want my mommy.”

An officer tells Pauley, “I think he is still alive. He is getting rushed to the hospital. Are you doing OK, are you alright?”

A search of the van did not reveal any weapon inside the vehicle, according to Jill Del Greco, public information officer with the Ohio Attorney General’s Office.

The Bureau of Criminal Investigation is still awaiting toxicology results, which could take months, to complete its investigation.

“Results will be released to the prosecutor once the investigation is finished,” said Del Greco. “BCI doesn’t draw a conclusion whether an officer should or should not be charged. They have findings, which they will outline in their investigation. It’s then up to the prosecutor to determine what to do.”
