Andre Walker, 43, was fatally shot on March 23, 2016, in North City, Saint‑Louis, Missouri, while attending a gathering to mourn a family friend. Known as Drayko, Walker was at a friend’s home when Dominique Kemper, then 22 and known to the family, arrived and shot him 23 times during a dispute involving the mother of the man who would ultimately kill him. Prosecutors described the attack as an assassination.

The case was marked by intense witness intimidation: potential witnesses were shot at and had their homes targeted, yet Walker’s family decided to cooperate fully with investigators despite the risks. Their willingness to testify was a key factor in the prosecution’s case.

A jury convicted Kemper of first‑degree murder and other charges in March 2019, when he was 25; he received life without parole. Walker’s family later launched a charity to collect items for people in need during the holidays in his memory.
