Hartford, Connecticut — On February 19, 2026, sometime before 10:00 a.m., a family member of 53-year-old Everard Walker, called 211 to seek assistance because Walker was suffering from an acute mental health crisis. Two mental health professionals from the Capitol Region Mental Health Center requested that Hartford police officers accompany them as they responded to Walker’s apartment building located at 990 Capitol Avenue in Hartford. They arrived at the building at approximately 10:08 a.m. The mental health workers, along with several police officers, then attempted to speak to Walker at his apartment on the third floor of the building to assess whether he needed medical assistance or presented a danger to himself or others. Present as well was Walker’s son and one of his daughters. Walker’s spouse also arrived at the apartment during the incident. The mental health professional spoke to Walker from the hallway through the open door of the apartment.

Several police officers subsequently entered the apartment but retreated when they became concerned that Walker might throw a pot of boiling water at them. Additional discussions between officers and the various parties continued. At approximately 10:58 a.m., Hartford police officers reentered the apartment when Walker attempted to close the apartment door and was being physically restrained by his son. A physical altercation began between police officers, Walker and his two children. The Hartford police officers involved in the altercation included Officers Alexander Clifford and Geovanny Rivera. During the altercation, Walker brandished a knife. One or more officers ordered Walker to drop the knife, but he did not do so. Walker appeared to be poised to stab Officer Rivera who had fallen backwards. Officer Clifford then fired several shots from his department-issued firearm. Walker suffered several gunshot wounds, received medical attention at the scene, and was later pronounced dead at Saint Francis Hospital. A portion of the incident was captured on video taken by Walker’s daughter on an iPad.
