ADOPT A PET
Ralphy is a 5-year-old male potbellied pig! He’s a very large dude, weighing in at 113 lbs. But he walks well on a leash and will follow you everywhere if you leave a trail of Honey Nut Cheerios! He has also done a little bit of work learning to walk up & down a ramp into a vehicle for easy travel. Ralphy is neutered & has already had his piggie vaccines. Neutered potbellied pigs will do just fine as indoor pets, but he’s so large he would do fine with some outside time mixed in too in nice weather. His adoption fee is only $100 and he can now be adopted in or out of Evansville city limits. Contact Vanderburgh Humane at (812) 426-2563 for adoption details!

WARREN KORFFÂ EVANSVILLE
They began looking for a man in a dark SUV with Florida plates. Shortly after that they received word the vehicle was at the Vanderburgh 4-H Center. When police got there they say they found the suspect dead in the car. No names are being released at this point.
Police have not released a motive for the crimes press, but neighbors tell 44News it was a domestic violence situation. They say the suspect and the person shot on Linwood were going through a divorce.
Original story:
What started as a search for a shooting suspect has ended with the suspect dead.
Just before 11:00 Sunday morning the Evansville Police Department was looking for a suspect in connection with two overnight shootings. The man was said to be driving a black SUV with Florida plates. He was also considered to be armed and dangerous.
About an hour later law enforcement officers were sent to the Vanderburgh 4-H Center, where someone spotted a vehicle and a person matching that description. Police are saying the suspect has been found, and that the suspect is dead. Police are also searching a home on Pennsylvania apparently related to the incident. Few other details are being released at this time.
44News has a crew on the scene. We will update this story as details become available.

Taylor posts 13 points in loss at Missouri State
UE remains on the road at UNI on Tuesday
Ryan Taylor continued his streak of reaching double figures in each game this season, posting 13, but four Missouri State players did the same as the Bears took a 72-55 win over the University of Evansville men’s basketball team on Saturday at JQH Arena.
Taylor hit 5 of his 10 shots, but was limited to just 18 minutes for UE (16-11, 6-8 MVC) after fouling out in the second half. Dru Smith returned to the lineup after missing three games and scored 12 points. He hit 5 of his 7 shot attempts. Blake Simmons paced the squad with seven rebounds.
“This has been a great group of guys but today, we were not ready to go,†UE head coach Marty Simmons said. “We were not really disciplined on either side of the ball today. There really are not any excuses. We have to play harder and pay more attention to detail.â€
J.T. Miller was the leading scorer in the game, registering 16 for the Bears (17-10, 7-7 MVC). Mustafa Lawrence had 12 while Alize Johnson and Jarrid Rhodes notched 11 apiece. Johnson and Obediah Church hauled in 13 boards apiece as MSU finished with a 45-22 rebounding advantage.
Mustafa Lawrence helped Missouri State take the early 12-4 lead as he knocked down a pair of early triples. The Bears scored the opening five points of the day before Ryan Taylor got UE on the board two minutes in. MSU continued to shoot well, hitting four of its first six shots while also posting the first eight rebounds of the game.
After taking a 14-6 lead, the Bears got called for a technical foul and Taylor made them pay. He drained both free throws before Riley hit one on the ensuing possession to cut the gap to five. Making his return after missing the last three games, Dru Smith connected on a 3-pointer to get the Aces within a pair – 14-12 – with 11 minutes remaining in the half.
MSU utilized a 7-0 run to push its advantage to 21-12 as Lawrence drained his third long ball of the half. The tenacious Aces squad rallied to cut the gap to two once again. Freshmen Evan Kuhlman and Noah Frederking each recorded buckets to get UE back within a 26-24 score with four minutes left.
Over the final minutes of the period, the Bears took control as they reeled off the final 11 tallies on their way to a 37-24 halftime lead. Seven of those points came from Alize Johnson, who went a perfect 7-for-7 from the line in the final minutes.
The first basket of the second half belonged to the Bears on a J.T. Miller dunk, but on the next UE trip down the floor, Smith got the Aces on the board with his second trey of the game. MSU’s lead reached 16 points at 47-31 before the Aces scored four in a row, including a pair of Dainius Chatkevicius free throws.
Evansville continued to hang tough, but midway through the half, Taylor fouled out and Missouri State took advantage, adding to its lead. That lead reached as many as 23 points (72-49) in the final minutes before UE cut it to the final of 17 points – 72-55.
UE shot 37.3% for the game while MSU’s offense hit 45.8% of its attempts. The Aces did a nice job taking care of the ball, turning the ball over just nine times while forcing 13 on the Bears.
Road play continues for the Aces as they travel to Cedar Falls, Iowa to play at UNI on Tuesday evening at 7
Cross Country earns national academic honor
The University of Evansville men’s and women’s cross country teams were named all-academic teams by the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA).
The award is given to teams who finish with a cumulative GPA of 3.0 or higher and both Purple Aces squads finished above that, led by the women, who compiled a 3.71 GPA, while the Aces’ men recorded a 3.32 GPA. Evansville is no stranger to academic success as the Aces have found themselves on this list on many previous occasions.
The honor marks the 16th-time the Aces’ women have received the accolade and the 10th-time Evansville’s men have earned the honor. UE’s men were one of eight Missouri Valley Conference teams to be named to the list, while the Aces’ women joined all nine other MVC teams on the list. The 3.71 GPA by Evansville’s women was second among MVC squads.
