News Home More from News of the North Bethel, Alaska (KINY) – On Monday, a Bethel jury found 44-year-old Jason Bobby guilty for the 2018 shooting death of Deacon Evan. Bobby was convicted of manslaughter and criminally negligent homicide on January 30, 2023, and Bobby was previously convicted of tampering with physical evidence in May 2022. All three convictions stem from the same incident. The case was opened in May 2018, when Alaska State Troopers received a report that Stony River resident, Deacon Evan, had died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound at Bobby's residence.
