Sixteen-year-old Isaiah Walker of Jennings, Missouri, died of a gunshot wound to the head after being found in the street on the 9000 block of Halls Ferry Road in north St. Louis on January 24, 2024. He was taken to a local hospital with life-threatening injuries and died three days later on January 27.

Investigators say the shooting followed an argument between Isaiah and his father, 51-year-old Carl Walker Jr. The two were seen leaving their home together and later walking back toward it when police say the father shot his son. Authorities recovered a .45 caliber shell casing at the scene and report that a .45 magazine and clothing were later found hidden in a trash barrel. Police allege Carl Walker Jr., a convicted felon, admitted to the shooting and was charged with second-degree murder, armed criminal action and unlawful possession of a firearm; he is being held on a $500,000 cash-only bond.

Isaiah is remembered by family and friends as a young man who loved football and video games and who was close to his sister and cousin. If anyone knew Isaiah or has information about what happened that night, please share what you know.
