Eyewitness Describes Fatal Shooting of Unarmed Man



An eyewitness to Wednesday night's fatal shooting of an unarmed man by

a Muscogee County Sheriff's Deputy says it was a case of being in the

"wong place" at the "wrong time."


Warren Beaulah was driving the SUV in which 39-year-old Kenneth Walker

was riding on Interstate 185 at around 9 o'clock Wednesday night.

According to Beaulah, he and his passengers were doing nothing wrong

when he observed blue lights in the rear view mirror.


He pulled over to the side of the road and was in the process of

putting the car in park when, he says, a law enforcement officer

pulled open his door and dragged him from the vehicle. "I was

snatched out of the car with an automatic weapon in my face," he told

News Leader 9's Elizabeth White, "(and) drug to the ground."


Five to ten seconds later, Beaulah says he heard a single gunshot. At

the time the shot was fired, he says, there was "lots of screaming and

yelling."


A short time later, as he was led in handcuffs around the front of the

vehicle, Beaulah says he saw his friend, 39-year-old Kenneth Walker,

lying on the ground in a partial fetal position and saw a pool of

blood.


The Muscogee County Sheriff's Department has confirmed that Walker was

unarmed at the time of the incident and blames the fatal incident on

faulty information from an informant in a drug case.
