Due to the severity of these crimes, the detention center confirmed that bond has been denied for all charges related to the Dobey Drive shooting.
Violence at Haywood Mall: A Pattern of Conflict
This is not the first time Walker’s name has appeared in police reports. On June 13, the suspect was involved in a chaotic scene at the Haywood Mall.

For this specific incident, Walker was granted a total bond of $15,000. Furthermore, the investigation expanded to include his brother, 17-year-old Kamari Stephone Walker, who was arrested and charged as an adult with assault and battery of a high and aggravated nature.
