$3 million bond set for TaShawn Walker

WARREN

Judge W. Wyatt McKay set bond at $3 million for TaShawn Walker, the 26-year-old Baytown, Texas, man charged with killing Richard C. Rollison IV, 24, Oct. 26.

Security was stepped up as Walker was brought from the Trumbull County jail to the Courthouse, where Atty. Matt Pentz of the Ohio Public Defender’s Office handled the arraignment on Walker’s behalf, entering an innocent plea.

Walker will return to court at 11 a.m. Nov. 25 for this first pretrial hearing before Judge Peter Kontos, who will preside over the case.

Walker is charged with shooting Rollison six times and killing him in the parking lot of the Sunoco gas station on West Market Street shortly after Walker is accused of going to the J&L Tavern on Highland Avenue in Warren Township and confronting people he accused of celebrating the death of his brother, Taemarr Walker, 24, exactly one week earlier.
