Kalief Terrill Walker, 18, was arrested in connection with a March shooting inside a home in Greenville. Greenville County Sheriff’s Office deputies said the suspect was also already charged in connection with the June 13 shooting at Haywood Mall.
Walker now faces attempted murder, possession of a weapon during a violent crime, discharging a firearm into a dwelling and unlawful possession of a weapon. Those charges add a separate case to a record that already included breach of peace, contributing to delinquency of a minor and possession of a stolen pistol from the Haywood Mall case.

Greenville County Communications received a 911 call at around 2 a.m. on Friday, March 27, reporting someone shooting guns into a home. Deputies later arrested Walker and an unnamed juvenile suspect after an investigation into that March shooting.
The March case stands apart from the June 13 shooting at Haywood Mall, but Walker is now tied to both. The June charges stemmed from a shooting that sent two people to the hospital, while the March case centers on gunfire into a home in Greenville.
Kalief Terrill Walker and the
The new charges matter because they put one 18-year-old suspect at the center of separate shootings months apart. For a reader following the case, the practical change is that Walker is no longer facing only the Haywood Mall charges; he is now charged in the March home shooting as well.
The case now turns on the evidence deputies used to link Walker and the juvenile suspect to the March shooting. That evidence will shape how the two cases move forward, and whether the charges from the March incident stay separate from the Haywood Mall shooting record.
After the
After the investigation, deputies arrested Walker and the juvenile suspect in connection with the March shooting inside a home in Greenville. Walker’s arrest on June 14 had already tied him to the Haywood Mall shooting, where two people were hospitalized the day before.
Walker’s name now appears in both incidents, with one arrest following the other. The unresolved issue is the evidence connecting him and the juvenile suspect to the March shooting into the home.
