On the evening of Monday, June 25, 2018, 15-year-old Demonte Walker was fatally shot in the 3600 block of Wabash Avenue in Kansas City, Missouri. He and his friend, 16-year-old Jeremiah Stewart, were both struck by gunfire; officers found them with life-threatening wounds and they were taken to a hospital, where both later died.

Demonte is remembered for his compassion and his close bond with his dog Chops. He had been mowing lawns to pay for veterinary care and had reached out to a local spay and neuter clinic for help. Both boys participated in a youth football program that provided mentorship and community support.

No arrests have been announced and the shooter remains at large. If anyone knew Demonte, Jeremiah, their movements that night, or has information about what happened on Wabash Avenue, please share what is known.
