William Walker was a 45-year-old lieutenant in the Cleveland Fire Department who was shot dead outside his home in Cleveland, Ohio, on November 3, 2013. He had recently married Uloma Curry-Walker; she had told him she had late-stage breast cancer, a claim later revealed to be false and used to gain access to his health insurance benefits.

On the night he died Walker was returning home after picking up dinner when he was ambushed and shot four times in the chest as he unlocked a side door. Uloma Curry-Walker was at the scene and called 911 but did not attempt to revive him. Investigators say she had maxed out several of Walker’s credit cards and was deeply in debt.

Authorities allege Uloma conspired with her daughter and others to arrange Walker’s murder, offering $10,000 to her daughter’s boyfriend, Chad Padgett, who recruited Ryan Dorty. Dorty is accused of carrying out the ambush with a 9mm pistol supplied by Padgett. Uloma Curry-Walker was convicted of aggravated murder, felonious assault, and conspiracy; her daughter and other accomplices pleaded guilty and testified against her.

Did anyone who knew William or his family notice warning signs before November 3, 2013?
