Alvin J. Walker, 40, was found with multiple gunshot wounds in the grass on the 100 block of Liberty Hall Road in Goose Creek, South Carolina, on the evening of March 20, 2019. Deputies from the Berkeley County Sheriff’s Office arrived after reports of a shooting; a bystander had been attempting to render aid. Walker was taken to a nearby hospital but was pronounced dead shortly after arrival. The Berkeley County Coroner’s Office ruled the cause of death as multiple gunshot wounds, and his death was the fourth homicide in the county that year.

The Berkeley County Sheriff’s Office and the Coroner’s Office jointly investigated the case. Their work led to the arrest of 23-year-old Lamont Mark Garrett of Hanahan; Garrett was taken into custody and transported to the Berkeley County Detention Center. Investigators continued to work to determine the circumstances and motive behind the killing.

If anyone has information about Walker, his activities that evening, or the events on Liberty Hall Road, please come forward with what is known.
