Officer Walker had served with the department since August of 1993, when he graduated from the police academy. He began foot patrol in the Center City District and was later assigned to the 23rd District. For the last 18 years, Walker patrolled the North Central District.
"He was known by both his fellow officers and the residents he served as a courteous, polite, and humble man," according to a department statement. Officer Walker is survived by his mother and five siblings.
A reward for information leading to the arrest of Officer Walker's killer now stands at $87,500, reports CBS Philadelphia. A $35,000 reward was initially offered by the city and Fraternal Order of Police Lodge 5.
