Kenishia Walker, a 25-year-old African American woman, was found dead in her Arlington, Texas, home on April 14, 2017. She was discovered by her 8-year-old son, who found her fatally shot in her bed. Walker was seven months pregnant at the time and her unborn child also died.

Investigators found text messages in which Walker expressed fear for her life and warned a friend to show police the screenshots if she turned up dead. Texts between Walker and a man identified as Keith Haynes, a 27-year-old who worked as a courtesy patrol officer for the Dallas County Sheriff’s Office, were central to the case; Haynes had deleted messages before investigators examined his phone. Walker’s son told detectives a man known as Moosie had been with his mother the night she was killed; Haynes acknowledged that Moosie was his nickname.

Haynes was arrested at his Plano apartment a few days after the killing and charged with capital murder. Prosecutors presented the texts and alleged threats at trial; a jury found Haynes guilty of the capital murder of Walker and her unborn child, and he was sentenced to life without parole. The case drew attention because of the domestic nature of the violence and Haynes’ employment with the Sheriff’s Office.
