Walker Lee Yow was a 63-year-old Black man who died in Birmingham, Alabama, in August 2007 during a violent late‑summer period in the city. Public memorial records list the fatal incident on August 20, while a death notice dated a few days later records his passing as August 21, suggesting a brief gap between the shooting and the family’s formal arrangements.

No motive, suspect description, weapon type beyond gun violence, arrests, or charges are mentioned in the surviving notices. A funeral service was held Wednesday, August 29, 2007 at Faith Chapel Christian Church on Quebec Drive, with burial at Elmwood Cemetery handled by Smith & Gaston Southside.
