Murder of Mike Evans' father featured on ESPN

ESPN will feature Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans tonight in a profile that focuses on the murder of his father 14 years ago. The Tampa Bay Times has a lot of the details, and you'll be able to see it yourself on E:60 at 10 p.m. ET tonight.

Mickey Evans was murdered by Mike's uncle, Sam Kilgore. Mickey Evans abused his wife, Heather Kilgore, and her brother eventually shot him to death over that abuse. Sam Kilgore is now serving a life sentence after killing his cellmate.

"It was tough and a lot of people have tough stories around the world," Evans told the Tampa Bay Times on Tuesday.
