Michael Jerome Walker was arrested Monday in connection to a fatal shooting May 17 in Fort Worth.

After Sherali Sher Ali fled Afghanistan during the withdrawal of the United States military in 2021, he landed on American soil with a sense he had successfully kept his young family safe.

“When she said that, it’s like your whole body starts to shake and you don’t know what to say,” the friend, Sayed Musa, recalled in an interview Thursday. “You just cry and you’re lost.”Fort Worth police have arrested one man in connection with the death.

Detectives spoke with another person at the apartment complex who said Walker had been there the last two days trying to buy drugs and a gun, according to the affidavit. The person provided a description of Walker, who they said goes by “Eastwood Lil Mike.” Officers found a handgun lying in the grass near where they found Walker, according to the affidavit.
