On June 3, 2021, Vergil Walker, 49, and his wife Kailey Walker were shot and killed in their Galesburg Village Apartments unit in Galesburg, Michigan. Neighbors say the violence grew out of a complaint about noise; police reports state the couple’s neighbor, William Wolfe, went to their door and shot both victims without warning.

Wolfe left, returned to his apartment, said goodbye to his cat, then drove elsewhere and later called 911. He was charged with two counts of murder and entered a not guilty by reason of insanity plea. A court-ordered evaluation concluded Wolfe suffered from a severe mental illness and lacked substantial capacity to appreciate the wrongfulness of his conduct; in October 2022 a judge accepted the plea and committed Wolfe to a state psychiatric hospital for treatment. Families continue to grapple with the loss.

Did anyone in Galesburg know the Walkers or have information about tensions between them and Wolfe? Please share tips or memories.
