Man found guilty for the deadly DUI crash that killed a 16 WAPT employee
SUMMARY: Elijah Atkisson was convicted of aggravated DUI for the 2020 drunk driving death of Marcel Walker. Despite a seven-day trial, the jury took just 30 minutes to reach a guilty verdict. Prosecutors presented evidence that Atkisson’s blood alcohol level was more than three times the legal limit when he crashed into Walker’s car on I-20, causing a fiery explosion. Atkisson’s defense claimed it was a mistake, not intoxication. Walker’s family expressed relief after the verdict, with his uncle noting the long wait for justice. Atkisson will remain in jail until his sentencing on December 9th.
