EGYPT Covington was a woman from Michigan who was killed in 2017.

NBC's Dateline aired an episode into the murder of Egypt during a robbery-gone-wrong on October 22, 201.

Who was Egypt Covington?

Egypt Covington was a resident of Ann Arbor, Michigan.

She was known for as a local singer, as well as for her employment at Fraser’s Pub in the city.

Covington also also worked as an account manager for a wine and beer importer/distributor according to Detroit News.

How did she die?

Covington, 27, was found dead of a gunshot wound to the head on June 23, 2017.

After an investigation, it was determined that Covington was killed by three men who targeted the wrong house while they were seeking to rob a neighbor who may have been growing marijuana.

Covington was found with her hands bound with Christmas lights and shot in the head at close range.

Authorities said they found a cushion with a bullet hole at the scene which they believe may have been used to stifle the noise of the gun.

Timothy Eugene Moore, Shandon Ray Groom and Shane Lamar Evans have been charged with murder and are awaiting trial in Wayne County Circuit Court.

Early in the investigation, authorities believed that Covington may have known her killers, however, testimony in court revealed that was not true.

Covington, who lived in a duplex, was friends with her neighbors. Court testimony determined that the neighbor whom the men sought to rob was a licensed caregiver who kept medical marijuana in his home.

The neighbor was at the Electric Forest music festival at the time of Covington's murder, an event the two used to attend together.

Covington had chosen not to attend the festival that year as she had started a new job.

After Michigan State Police took over investigations from the Van Buren Police Department, Evans and Moore were arrested in November 2020.

Groom was taken into custody in December 2020.

What have her murderers been charged with?

Moore is charged with first-degree murder, felony murder, and first-degree home invasion, as well as four counts of felony firearm according to Fox 2 Detroit.

Groom is charged with first-degree murder, felony murder, and first-degree home invasion, and three counts of felony firearm, continued the outlet.

Evans is charged with felony murder and first-degree home invasion.
