Walker was taken into custody, booked into the Angelina County Jail on a murder charge, and held on $500,000 bond. According to the affidavit, Walker admitted to firing the initial shots and then shooting Simmons again in the back of the head while Simmons was on the ground; the affidavit indicates Simmons was still alive and speaking when the final shot was fired.
