Evidence was presented during the trial that Walker shot Reason in the head on July 26, 2018, in an incident on Prather’s Bridge Road. Reason was injured and hospitalized.

Evidence was also presented that Walker shot Green multiple times in broad daylight on Aug. 8, 2018, less than two weeks after shooting Reason. Toccoa Police responded to a report of shots fired and found Green lying on the side of the road. Green was pronounced dead at Stephens County Hospital.

Both incidents were investigated by the Georgia Bureau of Investigation Region 8 office after their assistance was requested by the Toccoa Police Department.

The state also believes Walker was a member of the violent street gang “Sex Money Murder,” a set of the Bloods, and that the murders of Reason and Green were gang-related.
