Walker was protecting his wheelchair-bound mother. NEW YORK-Not even the sound of African drums could drown out the screams that Shem Walker's daughter Shemika let out as she walked down the aisle of the church alongside her family. "Daddy! Daddy!" "She tearfully shrieked during the procession- even louder than she did when she identified her father's dead body." " Walker was memorialized at Full Gospel Assembly Church In Brooklyn July 20. The church was filled to capacity with family, friends and supporters who came to pay respects to the 49-year old Army veteran who was unarmed and shot by an undercover police officer on July 11.
