A ju judge in Tampa discovered that Ronnie Walker was guilty of killing a 14-year-old girl

TAMPA – Ronnie Tremel Walker killed 14-year-old Nilexia Alexander on dark dead-end Tampa Street three years ago, the ju judges decided Tuesday.

A panel of five men and seven women deliberated about two hours before Walker, 48, was found guilty of first-degree murder, and refused to defence arguments that his accomplice was the one who shot the girl.

Walker was also found guilty of tampe

The ju umpire refused to defence arguing that Walker’s friend, Robert Creed, who was in the car on the night of the shooting, may have shot the girl.

Creed was the only witness to acknowledging it was a criminal accessory and testifying at trial, Creed was the only witness and the only person to see Walker Shoot Nilexia.

Creed was in Walker’s car when he picked up Nylexia.

She was a troubled teenager and repeatedly ran away from the house.

Surveillance cameras recorded wandering around Belmont Heights by 3am on May 6, 2022. After that, I entered Walker’s Blackford Fusion.

Creed pleaded guilty to admitting to being an accessory after the fact, but said that a ju-decided drove the girl down a dark dead-end road. Walker asked the girl if she was having sex with someone, Creed said. They began screaming. Then came the gunshot.

Walker ordered the girl out of the car, Creed said, then put herself out. He heard more gunfires before Walker was returned and wiped out.

Another man imprisoned on fraud charges, Stanley Wilson, told the ju decree that Walker confessed to him that he had shot the girl. Wilson claimed that Walker said he threw a gun into the Hillsboro River. Police divers searched but no guns were found.

Walker’s defense argued that both men had reason to lie. That was reasonable, assistant defender Maria Dunker said in his final argument to believe that Creed was the one who shot the girl and blamed Walker when police called.

Digital evidence suggested that Creed had communicated with Nylexia before the crime, but he denied knowing her. He also admitted that police lied when they first questioned him.

However, there was other evidence, which appeared to point to Walker as a shooter. Crime scene technicians have identified a tiny blood spot in the rear door frame on the driver’s side of the car. Laboratory analysis showed that the spot retained a mixture of Walker and two other people’s DNA. Nylexia was considered a “possible contributor.”

Police collected surveillance video recording the movements of the car before and after the shooting. As Nylexia was dying on the roadside, Ford was drawn into a gas station in Thornton on Hillsboro Avenue. Walker was seen getting out of the driver’s seat while Creed got off the passenger side.

Nilexia’s phone stayed in Walker’s car after she was killed, leaving behind digital trails everywhere she traveled. That signal reflects a signal from a phone that belonged to Walker’s girlfriend.
