Stephanie Lynn Walker, 37, of Forest City, North Carolina, died from injuries sustained in a shooting at her Arlington Street home on May 19, 2017. She was one of two victims; 34-year-old Akir Samad Hooper was found dead at the scene while Walker was taken to Rutherford Regional Hospital and later died.

Investigators described the attack as premeditated and said the suspect appeared familiar with the victims. Witnesses reported a biracial male about 6 feet 3 inches to 6 feet 4 inches tall with a medium build, wearing camouflage bandannas and dark clothing and carrying a black semiautomatic weapon.

In March 2022, a 51-year-old man named Jose Angleo Gonzalez of Sunrise, Florida, was charged in connection with the murders and was held without bond pending extradition to North Carolina. The investigation remains active; anyone with information is asked to contact investigators.
