How did a drug deal end with the fatal shooting of Orlando Euell?

Reports say that Keaira Walker, the woman who shot and killed Orlando Euell in broad daylight in May 2019 over drugs and money, was with two other women, who later testified in the case.

One of the witnesses claimed that she was napping in the backseat of Walker's Pontiac G6 when Euell joined them in the vehicle. The victim reportedly approached Walker earlier that day near 27th and National regarding purchasing some drugs.

However, while driving around, Euell told Walker that he only intended to spend $40, rather than the entire $200 that he had promised. The witness then allegedly saw Walker reach for the door while grabbing a revolver and pointing it at Euell. The shooter claimed that she would have to murder him in order to receive the whole $200. After a brief altercation, she fired the gun at Euell, who reportedly fell out of the car as Walker drove off from the scene.

A second witness who was in Walker's car when the incident occurred offered a nearly identical account of what happened before the shooting. They also told police that Walker threatened that "she hoped she didn't have to "'smoke her too,'" as she drove off from the site of the shooting.
