Evan and Kiley graduated Toms River High School North in 2020.  She attended the University of Massachusetts Amherst and transferred to Rowan University to be closer to Evan after they began dating in the fall.

Evan worked as a welder/foreman for R&S Contracting and was going to graduate in May from Ocean County College. He was also a lifeguard in Seaside Park during high school.

The Asbury Park Press reported the driver was charged with aggravated manslaughter and "other offenses." A spokesman for the Monmouth County Prosecutor's Office would not confirm the charges citing state law that keeps juvenile records protected from the public.
