On February 20, 2013, Tony Walton, a 25-year-old resident of Columbus, Ohio, was tragically killed by a gunshot wound. Walton was brought to Mount Carmel East Hospital by Antonio Evans, who was later implicated in the case. Evans reportedly dropped Walton off at the hospital after he had been shot in the upper body, but despite the hospital's efforts, Walton succumbed to his injuries about three hours later.
The Columbus police department began investigating the case immediately after Walton’s death. Antonio Evans, who drove Walton to the hospital, was later arrested and charged with tampering with evidence in connection with the homicide.
