A jury today found a man guilty in the shooting deaths of his fiancée and her father, and in the shootings of two other family members, the Palm Beach County State Attorney’s Office announces.
After a six-day trial, Eric Walker was convicted of two counts of first-degree murder with a firearm and two counts of attempted first-degree murder with a firearm.
The shootings occurred on Nov. 22, 2022 at the victims’ residence in suburban West Palm Beach.
A sentencing hearing for the defendant is pending. He faces life in prison for the murder convictions.
Assistant State Attorneys Mathri Thannikkotu and Courtney Behar prosecuted the case and obtained justice for the victims. We thank the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office detectives for their investigation.
