DeKalb County prosecutors have dismissed all murder charges against Alexander Krause, Archie Eversole’s brother, and closed the case before a trial planned for next week.
District Attorney Sherry Boston said prosecutors did not have enough evidence to prove the case beyond a reasonable doubt. Her office said it drafted an order dismissing all charges.
Prosecutors found no motive or evidence of a dispute in the brothers’ text messages, the office said. Both brothers owned the gun, and both had DNA on it. Prosecutors also said the evidence could not rule out the reasonable possibility that Eversole’s fatal injury was self-inflicted.
Eversole was found shot at a Chevron gas station in Decatur on March 25, 2022. He died nine days later at age 37.
Although prosecutors said the criminal case is closed, they said it remains unclear what happened in Eversole’s bedroom the night he was shot.
