KC man charged in triple slaying in January

Casts of footprints, analyses of shell casings, DNA testing and a map of movements provided by cell phone records led to charges Tuesday against a 46-year-old Kansas City man in the January killing of three people in central Kansas City. Jackson County prosecutors charged Anthony W. Walker with three counts of first-degree murder, three counts of armed criminal action and first-degree burglary.

He is charged in the January 16 killings of 62-year-old Donna Pike, her son Herschel Pike, 41, and Edward Williams, 57, an acquaintance of the Pikes, who interrupted the crime and was shot in the head as he approached the front of their home in the 3900 block of Paseo. Walker was arrested about two weeks after the killing after he sold a .40-caliber handgun to a confidential source cooperating with police. Walker was charged Feb. 2 with being a felon in possession of a firearm and has been in custody since then, according to federal court records.
