The Murder Tapes: I Did Something Real Bad features the murder of Orlando Euell by Keaira Walker, which occurred in the Mitchell Park neighborhood of Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
On the morning of May 8, 2019, 44-year-old Euell approached Walker as she sat inside her parked vehicle, a Pontiac G6. He told her that he would have $200 in a few hours and would like to buy drugs.
Later that day, Walker, then 22, and her passengers picked up Euell from a gas station on 27th and National Avenue. As they were driving, Euell informed her that he wanted to spend $40 instead of $200.
When Euell deviated from his original plan, Walker became upset, and the two began to argue. At some point, Walker pulled out a gun in an attempt to get Euell to spend the entire $200.
However, Euell was adamant about spending $40 on drugs and keeping the rest for himself. Before he exited the vehicle, he told Walker she would have to shoot him to get the money.
Walker then fired a shot, which prompted Euell to grab the gun, according to one of the passengers. They then began to struggle, and it was during that time she fired another shot.
