On April 13, 2023, neighbors in New Market, Alabama, were shaken when two people were found shot to death at a residence on Rose Valley Drive. Thirty-one-year-old Charlie Walker, a White/Caucasian male, and 64-year-old Ann Ferrell were both discovered by deputies responding to a 911 call at about 12:20 p.m.; both had died of gunshot wounds.

Investigators say a juvenile family member was identified as the shooter. After the shootings the young suspect fled in one of the victims’ vehicles; deputies located the car, pursued when the driver failed to stop, and took the juvenile into custody without further incident. The suspect was charged with two counts of murder and one count of attempted murder and was transported to the Neaves Davis Center for Children. Motive and full circumstances remain under investigation.

If anyone has information about Charlie Walker, Ann Ferrell, or the events at the Rose Valley Drive residence, please share what is known with the Madison County Sheriff’s Office.
