Michael M. Walker, 47 and from Florida, was found shot to death in an apartment on Athens Boonesboro Road in Clark County, Kentucky, on June 4, 2025. The Clark County Sheriff’s Office determined Walker had been shot multiple times and classified his death as a homicide.

Investigators identified 31-year-old Jesse Lewis as the primary suspect and obtained warrants charging him with murder, auto theft, and tampering with physical evidence. Authorities believe Lewis fled Kentucky in Walker’s blue Toyota 4Runner, prompting a multi-state search that led to Missoula, Montana.

More than a week after Walker’s body was found, Missoula police located Lewis on the 2200 block of Mullan Road. A SWAT team was deployed and Lewis was taken into custody without incident; he was booked into the Missoula County Jail and is awaiting extradition to Kentucky.

Anyone with information about Walker, his movements in Clark County, or the blue Toyota 4Runner is asked to come forward.
