After the night of the killing, Jake Evans admitted to authorities that he originally planned to kill several of his family members. His fascination with murder had become overwhelming within his mind, and eventually, he couldn't keep himself from trying it himself (via Teen Killers). On the night of October 4, 2012, Evans reached for the .22 caliber pistol he'd stolen from his grandfather and stepped into the upstairs hallway of his home. He then called for his 15-year-old sister, Mallory Evans, telling her that their mother wished to see her.
Once face to face with her, he shot her point-blank. She fell down the stairs and crashed to the floor below. He followed her down and, after watching her struggle for a moment, planted three more bullets into her head. "I was telling her that I'm sorry but to just hold still — that, you know, I was just going to make it go away," Evans told the 911 operator after the fact (per ABC News).
He then turned the firearm on his mother, Jami Evans, who was the only other family member home at the time (his father and two older sisters were elsewhere), and shot her four times in the head. He then picked up the telephone and called the police to inform them of what he had done. They arrived shortly thereafter and arrested him in front of the house. He presented authorities with no resistance (via ABC News).
