Ryan D. Walker was 21 when he was shot and killed in St. Louis on Sunday afternoon, April 23, 2017. The shooting occurred about 3:34 p.m. in the 5900 block of Ferris Avenue in the northern part of the city. Walker had been standing with a group near a vacant residence when a newer model maroon or burgundy Dodge Charger drove past and multiple gunshots were fired from the car, striking him.

Police found Walker lying on the front steps of the empty house with an apparent gunshot wound to the head. The vehicle left the scene immediately and no suspects were publicly identified at the time; the motive was not released. His family held visitation and funeral services in early May 2017. If anyone was in the area that afternoon or has information about the Charger or the shooting, please come forward.
