On the morning of April 28, 2019, Newton County deputies responded to a home on Alcovy Way in Covington, Georgia, after a 911 caller reported penetrating trauma. Officers found 57-year-old Andrea Walker dead in a back bedroom from a fatal gunshot wound.

Walker’s daughter, 34-year-old Carly Suzanne Walden, initially told investigators that two unknown men had entered the house, tried to sexually assault both women, and then shot her mother before fleeing. Detectives later identified inconsistencies in that account and shifted their focus to the person who had reported the incident. Walden was arrested at the scene and charged with felony murder and possession of a firearm during the commission of a crime; additional charges followed, including malice murder, aggravated assault, and drug possession.

At trial in April 2022, the prosecution presented evidence challenging the home invasion story. A Newton County jury convicted Carly Suzanne Walden on all counts and a sentence was imposed. Does anyone have information about Andrea Walker, her time in Covington, or contacts who could help clarify what happened that morning?
