Albertlean East, a 26-year-old African American woman, was fatally shot on August 31, 2018, in Tampa, Florida. At about 9:23 p.m. unknown assailants entered a residence at 9508 10th Street North and opened fire. East and 40-year-old Marcus Bowden were both shot; East was taken to Tampa General Hospital and died shortly after arrival.

Investigators say Bowden had been involved in an earlier argument that night. Darris Lamando Walker, 25 and from Tampa, was identified as the shooter. Walker allegedly shot Bowden, and when East ran to Bowden’s side he shot her as well. Walker was arrested nearly a year later and charged with first-degree murder, second-degree murder, and being a felon in possession of a firearm.

The families and community were deeply affected by the double homicide. If anyone has information about events at the 9508 10th Street North residence on August 31, 2018, please share what is known.
