Deadly force
Police were attempting to execute a warrant in connection with a homicide investigation. As officers were executing the warrant, Mark Walker moved into a room of the apartment and shot one of the officers in the lower leg as the officer approached the room. The officers fled outside the apartment, and Walker barricaded himself inside. Around 2 a.m., a fire started in the apartment, and Walker fled the building, discharging a gun as he exited. Officers Eric Voorand of the Manalapan Township Police Department, Daniel Murphy of the Howell Township Police Department, and Omar Akel of the Middletown Township Police Department shot and killed him.
This record exists so that Mark D. Walker II, and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
