Grand jury indicts man in Higgins Station beating death
DAYTON — The man accused of beating another man to death outside the Higgins Station bar was indicted Thursday, Nov. 12, on murder and other charges.
Richard Evans, 29, was arrested Nov. 2 in his girlfriend’s apartment at 3321 Valerie Arms Drive. He remained in the Montgomery County Jail, as of Thursday afternoon.
The charges include two counts of murder, two counts of felonious assault and two counts of involuntary manslaughter, and one count of being a felon in possession of a weapon.
Trotwood police said Evans pistol-whipped Stephen Moody on the head outside the bar, 420 E. Main St., on Sept. 26. Moody lapsed into a coma and died Oct. 4 at Miami Valley Hospital.
Investigators said witness statements led them to believe Moody was trying to break up a fight outside the bar, 420 E. Main St., and was beaten by Evans.
Trotwood police temporarily shut down Higgins Station on Oct. 29 after a judge approved a temporary restraining order in response to two homicides and numerous other instances of violence at the bar.
