Chaseton London Walker, a 26-year-old African American man, was shot and killed on April 2, 2019, inside his apartment in the 6500 block of South Carpenter Street in Chicago. He was found with a gunshot wound to the chest and was pronounced dead after being taken to the University of Chicago Medical Center.

Authorities charged Walker’s 26-year-old girlfriend Shanice Page, who was pregnant with his child, with first-degree murder. Initial statements by Page said Walker collapsed after returning from the store, but a female witness who was romantically involved with both Page and Walker told investigators she saw Page shoot Walker after an argument. Prosecutors said Page hid a 9mm handgun under a couch; the argument reportedly involved keys taken to go to the store and escalated when Walker allegedly picked up Page’s dog and threw it against a wall, severely injuring the animal.

Page’s attorney said she acted in self-defense, noted she had a Firearm Owners Identification card and a concealed-carry license, and described her as a model mother to another young child; the defense also pointed out she was 17 weeks pregnant at the time. The case involves questions about domestic violence, self-defense, and the role of a third partner in the relationship. Does anyone have information about events at the apartment that day or the people involved?
