Dana Walker Jr., 27, of Alachua, Florida, was shot multiple times and found unresponsive on a basketball court at Maude Lewis Park on January 14, 2018. He was taken to UF Health Shands Hospital and pronounced dead. Walker had played basketball and football at Santa Fe High School and is remembered by family and community members for his vibrant personality and local sports involvement.

Police quickly arrested 15-year-old Kamarri Latrell Hampton of Alachua and charged him with murder. Authorities reported the shooting was not random and that Walker and Hampton were known to each other; investigators said the motive was unclear but there were indications the killing may have been connected to neighborhood gang activity. Hampton was held in the county juvenile detention center while prosecutors considered whether to seek adult charges.

A day after Walker’s death a retaliatory attack wounded five people, including two children, highlighting tensions in the neighborhood. The Alachua Police Department and the Alachua County Sheriff’s Office asked anyone with information to come forward. Does anyone have information about Walker, the events at Maude Lewis Park, or the days following the shooting?
