A Coral Springs man has been released from jail following his domestic violence arrest after his wife was found dead in a canal near their home, police said.

7News cameras captured Jeffrey Evans walking out of the Joseph V. Conte Facility in Pompano Beach on Friday. He declined to take questions about his arrest or the charges he is facing.

“Can I please not speculate about things I don’t know about? Can we move past that?” said Evans. “I love my wife.”

According to Coral Springs Police, officers responded to multiple 911 calls at a residence on Northwest 15th Court at around 8:50 p.m. on Monday. They discovered Evans’ wife, Jessica Lloyd, unresponsive and floating face down in the water.

“I got a female in the water, female in the water,” said a dispatcher the night of the incident. “
