Walker was pronounced dead at the scene, in the 200 block of El Centro Avenue in Salton Sea Beach.
Three men -- John Taylor, 36, Edgar Gerardo, 46, and Michael Guerra, 33 -- were arrested shortly after Walker's body was discovered and booked on suspicion of homicide and conspiracy, according to deputies.
The sheriff's department had circulated Taylor's photograph in an attempt to locate him, while advising the public to not contact him if seen. Taylor was arrested Saturday by U.S. Marshals in an apartment on Sonora Avenue in Indio, according to Riverside County jail records.
