Hutchins Accused Killer's Fiancee Indicted in Murder of Postal Employee

Bei-jing Tashawna “Channelle” Walker wanted to protect accused killer Donnie “Lil-Debo” Ferrell. They were both from Hutchins, 12 miles southeast of Dallas, and engaged to be married. They appeared in each other’s Facebook profile photos.

In a photo Walker uploaded Jan. 30, Ferrell, who worked at a home health care agency, snuggles next to her. A sparkling pink heart graphic on the bottom corner of the photo captures her feelings for him, and “Mrs. Ferrell” written in parentheses underneath her name on Facebook suggests their future together.

In Ferrell's photo, uploaded Feb. 19, 10 hours after he allegedly shot and killed a postal employee, he hugs Walker, a former security guard, as she bites her lower lip. He was arrested a few days later, charged with one count of murder of an officer or employee of the United States, according to the Feb. 22 press release from the U.S. Attorney’s Office Northern District in Dallas.

“I apologize for the wrong that he did,” Walker posted to Facebook a day after Ferrell’s arrest. “Those of you that already know what’s going on and those of you that know me and know my heart know that I am deeply sorry and hurt. Please pray for everyone involved.”
