"I wouldn't want somebody to put me out of business, you know what I mean," Pasquale's Pizza owner Linda Campbell said. "But I think if there is a problem going on down there they need to solve it, and solve it quick."
Some residents say they are alarmed by the trend of violence and want corrective action to be taken by police and the city.
Chamaree McElwain says she will remember Walker as someone who was always smiling and checking on people.
"He was a nice young man," McElwain said. "All those gunshots that happened, you probably thought more than two people that got killed."
