Daylan Walker<\/a> was killed April 23, 2025, while inside a garage at a home in southeast Houston on Rolleston Lane which is near the intersection of Fuqua and Galveston Road. Another man who was with him at the time was also shot but survived, according to family members.<\/p>\n\u201cThere\u2019s been absolutely no progress,\u201d said Allen Whirl Sr., Walker\u2019s great-uncle.<\/p>\n
Whirl spoke from a mausoleum at a League City cemetery where Walker is buried. He said the family has grown frustrated with what they see as a lack of developments in the investigation.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey haven\u2019t found anything new,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Security video from the home captured the shooting, which Whirl described as a targeted attack. He said the gunmen approached the garage after arriving in a vehicle and opened fire from a short distance away.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe other kid was hit, but Daylan died immediately,\u201d Whirl said.<\/p>\n
Houston police have not publicly confirmed the details described by Whirl, nor have they announced any arrests in the case.<\/p>\n
In recent months, Whirl said he has begun conducting his own investigation after being asked by Walker\u2019s mother to help. He believes the killing may have been tied to a financial dispute, though authorities have not verified that claim.<\/p>\n
\u201cThrough my investigation, I believe there was some money that he owed them,\u201d Whirl said.<\/p>\n
Whirl said he has gathered information he believes could help solve the case and hopes investigators will take a closer look at what he has uncovered.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, local crime prevention officials are expected to highlight the case as it reaches the one-year mark. Authorities are urging anyone with information to contact the Houston Police Department or Crime Stoppers.<\/p>\n
Walker\u2019s family says they remain determined to find answers.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re holding out hope,\u201d Whirl said.<\/p>\n
