Kia-Patrick Roushelle Walker, 20, of Frankston, Texas, was found dead in the Tennessee Colony area of Anderson County on August 7, 2025. Deputies were alerted about 7:30 a.m. after the Palestine Police Department relayed a report of a possible shooting victim; investigators identified Walker at the scene in a parking area where she had been shot.

By the afternoon of the same day a suspect had been identified and taken into custody. Local authorities and jail records name 23-year-old Cyrus Johnson as the arrested suspect; he was booked on a murder charge with bond set at $1,000,000, and records show an August 8, 2025 arrest date. Court filings and an affidavit mention a domestic violence response about two weeks before the killing in which a firearm belonging to Johnson was processed.

Family and community members memorialized Walker, with services arranged through Rhone Funeral Home in Palestine and a funeral set for August 16, 2025. No final motive has been publicly detailed. Does anyone have information about Kia-Patrick Walker or the timeline leading up to August 7, 2025?
