Police found Walker while he was "urinating and holding a beer bottle" in Fort Worth and arrested him. 35-year-old Michael Walker is currently facing a capital murder charge for the death of Shawali Sherali.

"People should just stay behind bars. They don't deserve to be outside and kill an innocent person," said Noorali Noor, Sherali's older brother. Sherali and his family moved to Texas from Afghanistan in 2021 to escape the Taliban. It's a tragic and sad murder of someone who was seeking a safe place.
