Kirk Walker was on the road to prepare for his big wedding the very next day.

Meanwhile, elsewhere in Lower Manhattan, a vehicle hit an off-duty NYPD officer and fled. The NYPD officer chased the vehicle at high-speed until it crashed into a bystander vehicle, killing Kirk Walker. The case is being investigated by AG Leticia Walker to determine whether this falls under police pursuits since the officer who had initiated and escalated the chase had been off-duty and pursuing someone who had damaged his vehicle.

As of November 2024, the FBI continues to investigate the death of Dennoriss Richardson, who was found hanging in the carport of an abandoned home in Colbert County, Alabama, on September 28, 2024. Authorities initially ruled his death a suicide, but his family, including his wife Leigh Richardson, has vehemently rejected this conclusion. They argue that Richardson's death is linked to the harassment and abuse he endured from local law enforcement, particularly after he filed a federal lawsuit earlier in the year accusing Sheffield police of brutality.

The FBI's involvement in the investigation was prompted by requests from local law enforcement. The investigation has been clouded by the community's deep mistrust of law enforcement, due to a history of police misconduct and allegations of excessive force in the area​. Richardson had been in the midst of legal battles against Sheffield police, and his wife claims that his fear of police escalated after filing the lawsuit. The details surrounding his death remain unclear, and the FBI is reviewing the case to ensure transparency and accountability​.
