The children were teased and mistreated at their school. Anthony is a young boy filled with dreams; he has a keen interest in Basketball and was pursuing law then. On July 29, 2005, He spent the day with his girlfriend Louis Thompson and walked to the bus stop alongside his nephew, Marcus. On their way, two young men Michael Barton and his cousin PaulTaylor chased them and tried to kill Anthony and Marcus. Somehow his girlfriend and nephew escaped from the tragedy and went to seek help.

Meanwhile, Barton stabbed Anthony with an ice ax in his head, which severely affected the skull. He was rushed to the hospital and expired the very next morning. Racism and some other stupid myths are killing people!!! A shameful act for the Nation!! It is the sad story of Anthony Walker, who ended up with his dreams unfulfilled and created a significant impact over the Nation. Over thousands of people attended his funeral to convey their condolences to the young boy’s family. The two killers are given imprisonment for brutally killing the innocent.
