Alexis Walker was 20 when she was killed in a drive-by shooting in Detroit on August 18, 2018. She was at a gathering near Ferry Park and 14th Street when people in a vehicle described by witnesses as a blue Buick Rendezvous drove by and opened fire. Walker was struck in the head and died; three other people were also wounded and were reported in stable condition.

Walker was still mourning the recent murder of her son’s father, and her death left their young son orphaned. The Detroit Police Department opened an investigation and appealed to the public for information, and investigators were searching for suspects who fled the scene in the Buick. At the time of initial reports no arrests had been made, and there have been no public announcements identifying or charging anyone in connection with her murder.

Anyone who was near Ferry Park and 14th Street on August 18, 2018, or who has information about the blue Buick Rendezvous or the shooting is asked to come forward.
