Edmond Man Accused Of Killing Parents Found Competent To Stand Trial

An Edmond man accused of killing his parents has been found competent to stand trial, his attorney confirmed.

Elijah Walker was charged with two counts of first-degree murder.

He is accused of killing his parents, 50-year-old Michael Walker and 44-year-old Rachael Walker, in March.

Elijah Walker's brother called 911 after hearing gunshots in the home near Covell Road and Bryant Avenue.

In June, a state psychologist ruled Walker was not competent to stand trial.

On Wednesday, a judge ruled that Walker was competent to stand trial, Walker's attorney told News 9.

A preliminary hearing has been set for Feb. 21, 2020.

Walker is booked in the Oklahoma County jail.
