Walker was found lying in his driveway located near Carey Avenue and Hollywood Boulevard suffering from a gunshot wound to the stomach.

He was transported to a hospital where he later died of his injuries.

Walker has been described as a non-violent family man .

The only piece of evidence thus far is that neighbors recalled seeing two black men leaving the scene in a white van.

Friends and family held a candlelight vigil on Christmas Eve to remember Walker.

Violent crimes, including domestic violence, tend to increase around the Las Vegas Valley during the holiday season, especially robberies.

On Black Friday a Las Vegas shopper, who waited hours in line to buy at big screen TV at Target, was shot in the leg as he walked home with his new TV.

He survived his injuries.

Thieves often target homes in which visible valuable presents can be seen from the outside or even from empty boxes that have been left in the trash.

Sometimes they just seize an opportunity when someone has left their garage open.

Thieves have been known to even follow people out of banks or casinos and rob them while they are walking to their car.
