Charles Walker, 50, was killed in Denmark, South Carolina, on May 29, 2021.

One report says Walker was stabbed multiple times following an argument with a neighbor over a loud party; that account states a neighbor was identified, arrested, tried, convicted and given a life sentence, with a blood trail and a recovered weapon cited as evidence. A different, more widely circulated account lists Walker as a victim of gun violence on that date and says he died of multiple gunshot wounds; the National Gun Violence Memorial includes him among victims for that day. That version reports no official announcement of arrests or suspects.

These contradictory narratives leave key facts unresolved about the manner of death and whether the case is solved. Anyone who knew Charles Walker or has information about what happened on May 29, 2021, is asked to come forward.
