Prince shared footage of the ambush on Instagram with the caption, “these are the bounty hunters ambushing my family Walter down last night as he was leaving a place of business. You motherf*****s better be lucky I wasn’t there because y’all look like robbers and jackers to me. As you can see this looks like a hit, you should never run up on a person like this in plain clothes and no police cars at night. Y’all never gave him the chance to know who you were without gunning him down first. We won’t allow y’all to get away with this one by changing the narrative or justify killing a man because he has a warrant for his arrest.”
“They were here looking for an individual that they did spot. They found him over here inside of a vehicle. They approached the individual; the guy that was sitting in the car,” said Lt. R. Willkens, HPD.
Willkens stated the bounty hunters originally documented that Hutchins fired at them first.
“When they approached, this individual shot numerous times from inside his vehicle out toward these investigators. One of the investigators fired a rifle only a couple of times, which struck this male and grazed him across the top of the head,” Willkens said. “Our suspect backed up, crashed into a wall. Officers heard the shots, they were close in the area. They came and gave first aid immediately to our gunshot victim and secured the scene.”
Hutchins was taken to the hospital in critical condition where he later passed away.
