On the night of February 19, 2013, Eric Eugene Walker, 27, was fatally shot after a confrontation at a Hillcrest Heights gas station. While pumping gas at Branch Avenue and Colebrook Drive at about 10:40 p.m., Walker was approached by an armed man, identified in reports as 34-year-old Duane Lamar Williams of Southeast Washington. Walker fled across Branch Avenue; Williams pursued and shot him multiple times.

An off-duty Metropolitan Police Department officer witnessed the shooting from a nearby car, exited, identified himself, and attempted to intervene. Williams allegedly turned his weapon on the officer and attempted to fire, but the gun malfunctioned. Walker was found with multiple gunshot wounds, taken to a hospital, and pronounced dead. Officers located Williams nearby; his behavior led them to believe he was under the influence of PCP, and officers deployed Tasers several times before taking him into custody and recovering the weapon.

Williams was charged with first- and second-degree murder and other related offenses in connection with Walker’s death. Did anyone who knew Walker or was in that area that night see something that could help clarify what happened?
