According to a criminal complaint, he told investigators that a few days before the shooting, there was an argument on a school bus involving the victim and the shooter's younger brother. Days later, at the park, the victim said the older brother pulled out a gun and shot him three times. He provided the Instagram profile of the shooter to police, who identified the person as Walker. The complaint notes he lives a block from Carver Park.
About a month after the shooting, on June 15, prosecutors say Walker was in a stolen vehicle that led deputies on a .25-mile pursuit that ended near 13th and Reservoir.
Prosecutors say Walker and Davion Williams ran from the car. They were both eventually arrested.
The complaint says Williams was found with a gun and the key fob for the stolen vehicle, along with another vehicle key. Another gun was found in the stolen car.
While in custody, the complaint says Williams pulled cocaine from his pants before he was put through a body scanner.
The complaint notes that Walker was previously convicted as an adjudicated delinquent of armed robbery. Both were prohibited from possessing a firearm due to being under 18.
