How they died
Deadly force
Walker attempted to remove a man loitering on the stoop of his mother's apartment house, not realizing the man was an undercover narcotics detective. The two men fought, struggled, then the detective fatally shot the unarmed Walker three times. In July 2014 Walker's family settled with the city for $2.25M.
