On the morning of December 6, 2025, a domestic disturbance in the 2200 block of Deerlick Lane in Harvey, Louisiana, ended with 68-year-old Robbie Walker found lying unresponsive in the street with a fatal gunshot wound. Deputies from the Jefferson Parish Sheriff’s Office arrived after a distress call around 10:15 a.m.; emergency personnel pronounced her dead at the scene.

Detectives say the shooting occurred after a heated dispute inside the home between Robbie’s husband and her adult stepson. Investigators report the husband, 66-year-old Zed Walker Jr., produced a firearm; Robbie reportedly tried to intervene and, during a struggle, the weapon discharged and struck her. Zed Walker Jr. was arrested at the scene and booked into the Jefferson Parish Correctional Center on manslaughter and attempted murder charges.

Robbie had worked 23 years as an anesthesiologist technician at LCMC Manning’s Family Children’s Hospital and was a native of New Orleans, mother of three and a grandmother. Final arrangements were handled through Charbonnet Labat Glapion Funeral Home. If anyone witnessed the disturbance or has information about what happened that morning, please share what is known.
