Givens’ ex-girlfriend, D’vidriah Evans, contacted officers and stated that they had been fighting about her breaking up with him. Evans told officers that Givens immediately started yelling at her when she got home. Evans alleged that while Givens was screaming, he lunged at her but then said he wasn’t going to hit her. Following this, they continued to argue, which Evans stated made Givens more angry at her. This led to Givens shouting and punching on a door. Evans told officers that this made her fear for her safety, so she started grabbing some of her belongings. Given tried to reconcile with Evans by telling her to sit down and that he wouldn’t hit her. However, Evans took this as an opportunity to escape.
