At vigil for her daughter, killed in shooting, Erika Walker`s mother tells shooter(s): "I`m going to find you"

MILWAUKEE (WITI) -- A vigil was held Wednesday, March 11th for 19-year-old Erika Walker -- shot at a house party near 35th and Auer this past weekend.

Milwaukee police say an altercation at a party led to gunfire. Walker was shot. She was taken by friends to a hospital where she later died from her injuries.

No one has been taken into custody in connection with Walker's death.

Friends say there were ten to 20 people at the party. They believe someone knows something. At the vigil held in Walker's honor, her mother asked that whoever is responsible come forward.

"For whomever you was that harmed my daughter, she's swagged in life and she's swagging in death. Take that with you, because I'm going to find you. We are our own worst enemy in the inner city with this violence and black-on-black crime -- everybody acting like they don't see nothing. She's gone.  I can't get her back. If you know anything, anything at all, please step forward. If you know something, don't feel you owe anybody anything. You owe my daughter -- the residents of Milwaukee County. When my daughter put her arms together like this, her tattoos were of a skyline of a city that matters. I need ya'll to understand, the violence in the inner city of Milwaukee and elsewhere needs to stop," Michelle Walker said.

Erika Walker was a rap artist with dreams of hitting it big. Her family says she had a show scheduled in Atlanta next week.

"For anybody who knows anything, it is my hope that you do the right thing because it could be your child -- not just mine," Michelle Walker said.

Anyone with any information in this case is asked to contact Milwaukee police.
