Joseph Walker, 47, was fatally shot in the head during an attempted armed robbery at the American Legion tavern on Douglas Avenue in Racine, Wisconsin, in the early morning of Saturday, May 31, 2014. Walker, a father of five, had told his family he was stepping out for a bit before going to the tavern and was with friends that night.

Police say two individuals entered the tavern at about 1:30 a.m.; one was armed with a handgun. At least one shot was fired during the robbery and struck Walker. Investigators released descriptions of both suspects: the shooter wore a black hooded sweatshirt with the hood up, grey sweatpants, white shoes, and a white cloth covering his nose and mouth; the second person allegedly wore a grey hooded sweatshirt with the hood up, a black T-shirt over the sweatshirt, black pants, white shoes, and had his face partially covered.

The two fled and have not been identified or apprehended. The Racine Police Department and the FBI have asked the public for help and a reward was offered; by the third anniversary in 2017 the case remained unsolved. If anyone knew Joseph or has information about that night, please come forward.
