Man convicted in 2023 killing of pregnant woman over parking space
AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW/WAGT) - A man has been convicted in a May 2023 shooting that killed a pregnant woman and injured her fiancé and one of his children.
District Attorney Jared Williams says East Taylor Street.
Walker was arrested in December on multiple charges, including murder and two counts of aggravated assault, and was found guilty on all counts, the district attorney’s office says.
Walker was convicted on Friday, according to Williams.
Williams says Walker also shot her fiancé and an 11-year-old child, injuring both.

Safety in downtown Augusta has been a hot-button issue spanning multiple law enforcement istrations.
“This conviction could not have been possible without two teams of DA Investigators, who spent their Memorial Day making a 16-hour round trip to Tennessee to transport witnesses, and then another team to do the same long haul on Thursday,” Williams said in a press release.
Walker has a violent past and has been in and out of jail and prison for years, according to his criminal record.
His offenses include firing a gun into a car back in 1999, firing a gun into a house in 2004, and hitting someone in the head with a gun in 2012.
He was also convicted of simple battery in 2001 for hitting and kicking a woman.
He has violated his probation and has been arrested for that, too.
That’s all in addition to that active warrant from 2019 where he’s accused of shooting someone and now this new murder charge.
