Roanoke Wife Charged With Murder in Domestic Violence Homicide Case

Alexis Marie Green, 30, was charged with second-degree murder in the death of her husband, Evers Lamar Green, 37, sixteen days after Roanoke officers found him critically injured at a home on the 1000 block of Norfolk Avenue SW. He died at the hospital. Roanoke Police classified the case as a domestic-violence homicide.

Officers first responded to Norfolk Avenue SW on March 8, 2026, at approximately 9:45 p.m. Evers Lamar Green was found in critical condition and transported to the hospital, where he later died from his injuries. The department's homicide unit assumed control of the investigation, and on March 24, Alexis Marie Green was taken into custody.

The two were legally married but reportedly in the process of divorcing at the time of the incident. Second-degree murder, the charge filed against Alexis Green, indicates prosecutors believe the killing was intentional, though not premeditated in the statutory sense. That distinction carries weight: it shapes potential sentencing exposure and the legal calculus on both sides as the case moves through the courts.

Domestic homicide prosecutions built around dissolving marriages tend to lean heavily on documented history between the parties. Prior protective orders, 911 call records, medical records, and witness testimony often form the evidentiary spine of the case. Whether any such documentation exists between the Greens will likely surface as the prosecution develops its theory and defense counsel responds in filings.

Roanoke Police have asked anyone with information to contact the department. The case remains in its early stages, and the full picture of what happened on Norfolk Avenue SW that March night will emerge as proceedings advance.
