An 18-year-old suspect previously released on bond for a June 13 shooting at Haywood Mall was re-arrested on June 29, 2026, after being charged with attempted murder regarding a separate March incident in Greenville, South Carolina.
According to the Greenville County Sheriff's Office, Kalief Terrill Walker and a minor allegedly chased an individual into a Dobey Drive home and fired multiple rounds following an altercation on March 27.

Walker, who was under 18 at the time of the incident, now faces charges of attempted murder, discharging a firearm into a dwelling, unlawful possession of a pistol, and possessing a weapon during a violent crime.
A magistrate judge denied bond for Walker on the new charges during his booking at the Greenville County Detention Center.
Legal experts noted that the firearm possession charge carries a mandatory minimum sentence, while the other counts offer judicial flexibility.
"With these other charges, not having those mandatory minimums. It gives the judge a lot of discretion.
This may be a case where it might be 10, it might be 15, it might be five," said Cedric James, FR Law attorney.
James emphasized that the mandatory weapon charge leaves no room for alternative sentencing options if a conviction occurs.
"There's no way around it. There's no discretion here.
If Mr. Walker is convicted or pleads guilty to that charge, he is going to have to be sentenced to five years on that," said Cedric James, FR Law attorney.
