"Inside San Quentin, Evans was prospering, according to others who knew him at the prison. He took advantage of rehabilitation programs and gained notoriety on the in-house basketball team, the San Quentin Warriors, where the prison's newspaper compared him and two teammates to NBA trios like Steph-Klay-Draymond and Kareem-Magic-Worthy."
"Basketball-wise, I want to coach an Amateur Athletic Union team; take them traveling to places they normally wouldn't go, Evans told the San Quentin News. In an interview, he said he looked forward to taking a conflict resolution program out to the streets."
"McFee was shot and killed around 9:40 p.m., after exiting a vehicle and interacting with at least two other people, police said at the time. Investigators found two different caliber shell casings at the crime scene, and obtained video showing one of the shooters stand over him and fire at him as another grabbed McFee's backpack and fled."
DaJean Evans, 26, was arrested on January 6 at San Quentin's gate on his scheduled release day, facing murder, robbery, and gun possession charges. He is accused of killing 49-year-old Andre McFee on May 25, 2022, in Oakland. Hours before McFee's death, Evans had carjacked someone at Fruitvale BART. During his five-year incarceration, Evans participated in rehabilitation programs and played for the San Quentin Warriors basketball team, expressing plans to coach and teach conflict resolution upon release. McFee was shot around 9:40 p.m. after exiting a vehicle, with investigators finding two different caliber shell casings and video evidence of shooters. Evans, along with Jamel Wilcox and a 17-year-old, were later chased in a stolen silver Honda from Contra Costa to Vallejo.
