An aspiring singer named Christopher Walker was tragically shot and killed in a parking lot in Houston while celebrating his 30th birthday. Christopher, who had turned 30 just days earlier, was robbed and shot five times by two heartless criminals. His father, musician Christopher Walker Sr., shared the sad news on Instagram. He wrote, “It is with a heavy heart that we share the loss of our son, Christopher Walker II, who just celebrated his 30th birthday January 13th. He was brutally murdered yesterday during a robbery and shot five times. My GOD…our only child!!! We are DEVASTATED…please keep us lifted in prayer.”
Christopher’s mother, Natalie-Lee-Walker, spoke to local news and said, “We have to live life without him forever. It’s a huge vacancy that will never be filled by anything, anyone.” She described how painful it is to know that her son’s physical presence is now gone. “His seat at the table is vacant. His room and the things he loved doing will no longer be the same.”
She added that Christopher was a kind, affectionate, and loving person who always made people feel important. “Every room he walked into, every person he met, he always left them better off than the way he found them. He always made everybody feel loved and that they had purpose.”
According to the police, Christopher was taken to a hospital in a silver pickup truck but was declared dead upon arrival. Investigators believe the shooting was part of a robbery. The suspect is described as a Black man in his 20s, wearing a green sweatshirt.
Christopher was a graduate of Texas Southern University and the High School for Performing and Visual Arts.
In a separate incident in Houston, a man was shot during a road rage confrontation. Police say the man, in his 40s, was driving recklessly around the 610 Loop. The man targeted a car carrying a young man and his pregnant girlfriend. After a series of aggressive actions, the couple tried to escape and ended up at a red light, where the confrontation continued.
Anyone with information about Christopher Walker’s death is urged to contact the HPD Homicide Division at 713-308-3600 or Crime Stoppers at 713-222-TIPS.
