Erin Michelle Walker, 36, a social studies teacher at Central York High School, was shot and killed at her home on the 400 block of Hill Street in Spring Garden Township on May 21, 2022. She had taught at Central York for 13 years and was a single mother to a 3-year-old daughter, Charlea Evelyn Walker.

Police say the fatal shooting followed an argument with a 59-year-old neighbor, Daniel Berry, over a shed Berry had placed in his backyard; the shed had reportedly caused one of Erin’s phone lines to be disconnected and sparked repeated disputes. Berry had contacted police the day before the shooting to request a zoning inspection, and was told to pursue the zoning office. The confrontation escalated the next evening and ended with Erin being shot multiple times.

The community held gatherings at the high school and organized a GoFundMe that raised more than $63,000; an Erin Walker Memorial Scholarship was also created. If anyone knew Erin, her daughter Charlea, or has information about the dispute, please share what is known.
