Police say 43-year-old Joe Evans shot and killed his wife, Dina Evans, at his trailer home July 26. She was hit once in the chest.

Evans appeared in court Tuesday. Marinette County District Attorney Brent DeBord says he was charged Monday with first-degree intentional homicide and previously with possession of a firearm by a felon.

A criminal complaint says Evans bought the gun from his half brother. He told police it went off accidentally.

Dina Evans lived in a different mobile home in the same park as her husband. The criminal complaint says she had recently filed for a restraining order against him.
