Theodore Teddy Walker Jr., 26, of Union, South Carolina, was shot and killed at a residence on Arthur Boulevard on July 20, 2026. A Union High School and University of South Carolina Union graduate, Walker was described as a father who loved the outdoors and gardening and hoped to open a farmers’ market for his community.

Within days, authorities arrested three people in connection with the killing. Twenty-year-old Omaran Lipkcom was taken into custody in Buffalo, South Carolina and charged with murder; Lipkcom was denied bond at a subsequent hearing. A 16-year-old was also arrested and charged with murder, and a 15-year-old was arrested and charged with accessory after the fact to murder. Police said they were still searching for another minor who was a person of interest and described the investigation as ongoing.

Walker’s family and community are grieving a sudden, violent loss. Does anyone have information about that July 20 shooting on Arthur Boulevard or knew Walker and can help fill in what happened?
