Overview

• Prosecutors say David Alison Walker admitted to drinking six to eight ounces of vodka before driving a stolen car that struck Layla Chrissa Clemons and Jaea Chatman, both 17, on Jefferson Boulevard.
• Walker faces seven felony counts, including two murders, two counts of gross vehicular manslaughter while intoxicated with enhancements for fleeing the scene, two counts of hit-and-run causing death, a vehicle theft charge, and a misdemeanor for driving without a license.
• The West Sacramento Police Department temporarily closed Jefferson Boulevard between Southport Parkway and Bevan Road Wednesday morning to support forensic and crash-scene investigation.
• A Yolo County Superior Court judge labeled Walker a flight risk and danger to society when rejecting his request for pretrial release during Wednesday’s hearing.
• Victims’ families and West Sacramento officials are calling for urgent safety improvements—such as lighting, bike lanes, and road shoulders—on the poorly lit, one-lane corridor.
