Prosecutors say Shoemake and Walker told Victor they needed to see him to repay a debt. When Victor got into the car, prosecutors say Walker hit him in the head with the butt of a gun and strangled him with an extension cord.
They drove from Olive Branch to Shelby Farms in Memphis, where they set Victor’s body on fire in a wooded area off a walking trail. Victor’s body was found by a jogger.
