NEW DETAILS IN DEATH OF SHAWTY LO

The passengers in Carlos “Shawty Lo” Walker’s car begged him to slow down before the deadly Sept. 21 crash that killed him, a Fulton County Medical Examiner’s report said. The two women, identified as Deshondria and Destini, told investigators “they were pleading with (Walker) to slow down but he would not.”

Walker, 40, was pronounced dead at the scene; his passengers were not seriously injured. The medical examiner’s report says he was not wearing a seatbelt in his 2016 Audi A7.

The car sped down the Cascade Road exit ramp from I-285 “and somehow went behind the guardrail onto the grass and then down the embankment,” the report reads. Walker “lost control of the vehicle as the car hit the grass and began to fishtail before flipping over, crashing and catching fire.”

Authorities were called to the scene about 3:35 a.m.

Walker is survived by 11 children. Hundreds of mourners, including family members, friends and fans, packed Jackson Memorial Baptist Church on Oct. 2 for his three-plus hour funeral.

“Shawty Lo, I knew every season of his life,” said Bishop Dreyfus C. Smith, senior Pastor of Wings of Faith Worldwide Ministries, who delivered a powerful eulogy. “Shawty helped more people on the west side than most pastors and churches combined. Shawty Lo paid rent for people that didn’t pay him back, put food on people’s table that would have been hungry, put people on his payroll. Some earned it, some was just hanging on.”

The report lists “blunt force injuries of the head” as the cause of Walker’s death. Toxicology results are pending, but the Medical Examiner’s report indicated that Walker’s body smelled of alcohol. A prescription bottle containing the medications acetaminophen/hydrocodone and acetaminophen/ oxycodone, commonly sold as Vicodin and Percocet, was found on Walker’s person.

It also noted that Walker’s passengers took money from his pockets, with permission: “(Walker) had a large sum of money on him and the police officers on the scene allowed the two females to take the money. Additionally, various small denominations of U.S. currency such as $5 and $1 bills (were) spread about the general area.”

A Fulton County Crime Scene technician documented and collected the remaining money.
