According to an arrest report, Walker was at the home he shares with his girlfriend in the 2300 block of Charleston Street when the argument heated up.

At one point, the woman's son, Marquise Reeves, started to argue with Walker, according to the report. The two started physically fighting and were wrestling when Walker stabbed Reeves, the report said.

The girlfriend allegedly called 911 while Walker fled the scene. In the meantime, her son was taken to Memorial Regional Hospital where he died from his injuries.

Walker was later driven by his father to the Hollywood Police Department, where he turned himself in and was taken into custody.

When questioned by detectives, Walker said Reeves had forced open a locked bedroom door to start the argument and had punched Walker in the jaw, the report said. Walker said at one point, Reeves was allegedly reaching for an object. That's when Walker took a knife from his pocket and fatally stabbed Reeves.

Walker now faces a murder charge. He was being held without bond Tuesday, Broward jail records showed.
