Pair wanted in Statesville stabbing death caught in Texas

IREDELL COUNTY, N.C. — Two suspects wanted in connection with the stabbing death of a woman Thursday night in Statesville were placed into custody in Amarillo, Texas after a traffic stop.

Deputies said Brenda Evey and her boyfriend Dakoda Drake went to home on Wagon Trail Lane  to settle a debt over drugs.

Christina Inman and her boyfriend were at the home when the two women started arguing.

Detectives said Evey stabbed Inman several times before loading her into a car and driving her to the hospital. Inman, 20, was then flown to Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center where she was pronounced dead.

Murder warrants have been issued for Evey, while warrants have been taken out against Drake for accessory after the fact.
