High school basketball superstar Tyreke Evans drove a sport utility vehicle away from the scene after a passenger allegedly shot and killed a man last month, according to a Chester Township police affidavit that was released last week. Evans, who lives in the city of Chester, has not been charged with any crime. A senior at American Christian Academy in Aston, Delaware County, Evans is considered one of the nation's top high school players and is being heavily recruited by top-tier colleges, including Villanova, Memphis and Louisville.

A basketball player who was part of a shooting.....SHOCKING!! No worries, he will blame his "environment" and everything will be fine.

I hope he doesn't get too much criticism from the media and shoots up public places such as a mall or church. He may actually blame his problems on the rest of the world.

Maybe he can use the same excuse suburban kids are using these days when they shoot up their school...he was bullied.

If the glove does not fit, you must acquit!

Excuse me ...but wouldn't this at least be an accessory to murder?

Pitino will still take him. He loves all the Trashy, ghetto players. I am sure Ricky P will "make a difference in this young man's life" LOL Look at the trash he has now.

Just reading this story, If the passenger said GO He is going to shoot! Is that not Warning to leave before he shoots?

If I'm Memphis or Nova, I'm passing on this guy. If I read this story correctly, the guy is missing on a rather critical hoops fundamental, which is following your shot. He'd fit right in at Lousyville.
