“I feel shaken. I don’t even know how to think. I can’t sleep at night because of this. It has made me really paranoid,” said Evans.
At a Monday news meeting, Evans' folks, LaShondra and Chris Evans, remained with their lawyer Randall Kallinen, engaging the school to punish the understudies who called the police on their girl.
Kallinen said Evans was the casualty of a bigot set-up that might have finished deplorably. "This could have been a Breonna Taylor circumstance," he said.
“Yes, we’re upset and we want something to be done about it,” said Chris Evans. “When I sent my daughter off to school, my worse-case scenario was that she should call needing money or an issue with her grades.”

Evans' folks accept that the episode was racially propelled. “I want justice,” said LaShondra Evans. “I want [the people responsible] to have consequences. They played with her life.”
The SFA Chief of Police John Fields thusly dispatched an examination and released a video message in which he stated, “A racially diverse group of students were involved in an incident involving a false report. The students will be held accountable for this at every possible level.”
On Monday, the leader of SFA gave an announcement on Twitter that stated, “Each perpetrator will be dealt with appropriately.”
He proceeded, “My heart goes out to the young lady who was an innocent victim in this matter. We will do all we can to support her and her family through this heinous ordeal."
Evans' mom said the idea of what might have happened to her little girl keeps her up around evening time. “Kids sleep with their phones in their bed. What if they [saw] her phone flash, or the back of her phone is shiny … and they had reported she had a knife. They could’ve shot her,” she said. Evans was required to support SFA yet said the entire case has discolored her school insight.
Students "pranked" a Black @SFASU cheerleader by calling in a false report to campus police, leading them to swarm into her dorm with guns! This is NOT a prank, it's LIFE-THREATENING, esp. for a Black woman!! States should pass the KAREN Act & make these false reports ILLEGAL! pic.twitter.com/FecQT39e8u
