On May 22, 2026, deputies in Miller County, Arkansas, found 43-year-old Clay Walker in a yard on Coca-Cola Lake Road in Genoa, just outside Texarkana. Walker had suffered a single gunshot wound to the head; deputies and paramedics performed life-saving measures but he died at the scene.

Investigators quickly focused on one suspect, Joseph Richardson of Texarkana. A Miller County deputy’s dash camera recorded Richardson’s vehicle and license plate as the deputy responded to the shots-fired call, and that footage prompted a be-on-the-lookout alert. The Texas Department of Public Safety located and arrested Richardson the evening of May 22; he was booked into the Bowie County jail and is being held in Texas pending extradition to Miller County. Charges to be filed in Arkansas have not been publicly announced and the investigation is ongoing.

Does anyone in the area have information about Walker, the location on Coca-Cola Lake Road, or the events that afternoon?
