On the late afternoon of May 26, 2021, 38-year-old Peter Schifone was found with an apparent gunshot wound inside an apartment at 64 High Street in North Attleboro, Massachusetts. First responders rendered aid and transported him to Sturdy Memorial Hospital in Attleboro, where he was later pronounced dead.

Investigators from the Bristol County District Attorney’s Office, Massachusetts State Police detectives and the North Attleboro Police Department quickly developed a suspect. On May 28, 2021, 33-year-old Adam Walker, last known to live in East Providence, Rhode Island, was arrested in Swansea and charged with murder, carrying an illegal firearm and carrying a loaded illegal firearm. Walker was held for arraignment at Attleboro District Court.

In December 2024 a judge ordered a 20-day hospitalization at Bridgewater State Hospital to evaluate Walker’s competency to stand trial. A tentative trial date was set for May 19, 2025. The investigation remains active and ongoing. If anyone has information about Schifone, his movements that day, or the events at 64 High Street, please come forward.
