Ashanti D’Onte Antwoine Walden was 25 when he was killed on June 23, 2017, during a block party in East Chicago, Indiana. Known as Bubba or Bundles, he was a father to two young daughters, Nevaeh and Alayah and performed rap music. Walden was hit in the left hip and the right side of his chest and died from his wounds; Patrick was shot in the foot and survived.

The shooting is described as rooted in a long-running dispute between rival gang factions: Currie with the Villeblock faction of the Vice Lords and Walden with the YMH faction. Currie was arrested and charged; he ultimately pleaded guilty to voluntary manslaughter and attempted obstruction of justice and received a 24-year sentence.
