MEMPHIS, Tenn. -- Former Memphis Mayor Willie Herenton was close friends with Eddie Walker, the 83-year-old man robbed, shot and left to die outside of his South Memphis home on Sunday.

"He didn't deserve to go out like this," he said. "The perpetrators, the individuals who took Eddie's life, they need to suffer some real severe consequence."

Walker was returning home from work when police say he was attacked by Devonell and Ladarius Montgomery.

They wrecked Walker's Ford Taurus in Horn Lake and then led police on a massive manhunt.

The men haven't been officially charged with the deadly shooting in Memphis yet, but are still facing charges in Mississippi while they await extradition.

Devonell is being held on a contempt of court warrant while Ladarious is charged with leaving an accident scene.

WREG has learned both men have a criminal history.

Police arrested Devonell last year for stealing lawn equipment and trying to break into a shed.

At one point Ladarious faced charges for statutory rape and attempted burglary.

As for Walker's friends and family, they are now forced to arrange a funeral for a man they say is gone too soon.

Family members are working to finalize his funeral arrangements.
