Family and friends of a man killed by Durham Police last week gathered Sunday for his wake at Antioch Baptist Church.
A Durham Police officer shot and killed Derek Walker Sept. 17 when he brandished a gun near the Bronze Bull statue in downtown Durham. Police said Walker, 26, had been waving the gun, and they negotiated with him for about an hour before he pointed the gun at the officers, prompting an officer to fire.
A funeral for Walker will be held Monday at 2 p.m. at Fisher Memorial United Holy Church. Friends and family will gather tonight at Antioch Baptist Church Sunday for his wake.
