WARREN
Tre Vaughn Walker, the younger brother of a man killed in an Oct. 18, 2013, confrontation with a Warren police officer, was arrested by Warren police after a chase early Sunday – close to the spot of his brother’s death and almost exactly two years later.
Walker, 22, of Stewart Drive Northwest, was arraigned Monday in Warren Municipal Court.
A not-guilty plea was entered for him on felony failure to comply with the orders of a police officer.
Bond was set at $50,000.
Police were told by two men in a van that males in a small sport utility vehicle had earlier pointed an assault rifle at them in the parking lot of the Powerhouse Bar on Mahoning Avenue.
Officers located the SUV and chased it at high speeds to the West Side, where two men got out and ran.
Walker was apprehended in the backyard of a house in the 2500 block of Jackson Street Southwest and taken into custody without incident.
Police found no weapons in the SUV or in Walker’s possession, but they found rubber gloves in the SUV.
The other male got away.
Tre Vaughn Walker’s brother, Taemarr Walker, 24, died in a confrontation with a Warren police officer Oct. 19, 2013, on Risher Road near Palmyra Road Southwest. He was wearing rubber gloves and had two firearms in the car – including one that looked like an assault rifle.
Prosecutors said Taemarr Walker had been at the II Hype bar, which is across the street from the Powerhouse, just before his confrontation with the police.
TaShawn Walker, 27, of Baytown, Texas, another Walker brother, was sentenced to 17 years in prison in July after pleading guilty to involuntary manslaughter, carrying a concealed weapon and improperly handling firearms in a motor vehicle in the death of Richard Rollison IV, 24, of Niles.
TaShawn Walker shot Rollison to death in the parking lot of the Sunoco gas station on West Market Street exactly one week after Taemarr Walker died.
