ɴᴇᴡᴛᴏɴ, ɴ.ᴄ. – On Saturday, October 28th 2023 at 1:00 pm, deputies with the Catawba County Sheriff’s Office responded to a report of a person who had been stabbed at a residence on Daniel Street.

When deputies arrived they discovered an adult male deceased from apparent stab wounds. Officers were soon directed to a neighboring residence where they located the suspect, Kenny Raymond Walker, age 43 of Conover, and took him into custody without incident.
