Two Montgomery County men are charged in a failed murder-for-hire plot
The Montgomery County men allegedly planned to hire someone to kill one man's ex-girlfriend.

Two Montgomery County men were charged in a failed murder-for-hire plot earlier this week, according to prosecutors.
Zunir Wilson-Walker, 22, an inmate at the Montgomery County Correctional Facility, and Jadan Uriah Jones, 20, of Norristown, are accused of planning to kill Wilson-Walker’s ex-girlfriend, the mother of his 1-year-old child.
In a recorded phone conversation from the correctional facility on Nov. 9, 2024, Wilson-Walker asked Jones to create a fake Instagram account to solicit someone to murder Wilson-Walker’s ex-girlfriend, according to a statement by the Montgomery County District Attorney’s Office. He instructed Jones to then use the platform’s “stories,” which disappear after 24 hours, to offer $15,000, a Cartier watch, and a car to kill the woman, as well as include her home address and other identifying information, according to prosecutors. In a follow-up call later that day, prosecutors said, Wilson-Walker gave Jones a name for the account, “walkdownmontt.”
Before the November phone call, Wilson-Walker had lost his inmate phone privileges because of verbal abuse and threats he had made toward his ex-girlfriend over the phone, a prison investigation determined, according to the district attorney’s office. Then, Wilson-Walker sent the woman several harassing and threatening messages using a tablet, which resulted in the suspension of his tablet privileges, prosecutors said. These actions violated a protection-from-abuse order issued for the woman in April 2023, prosecutors said.
Jail officials learned that Wilson-Walker had been using another inmate’s telephone account by the end of November, which prompted them to listen to the recorded calls and then alert Montgomery County detectives, according to the district attorney’s statement.
Hours after the second phone call on Nov. 9, the “walkdownmontt” account posted eight private “stories” that included insults about Wilson-Walker’s ex-girlfriend, her home address, a description of her car, and a location where she would be on a specific date, as well as the offered payment for her to get beat up or “took off the map,” according to the district attorney’s statement. Authorities have not released the woman’s identity.
After filing a search warrant with Instagram’s parent company, Meta, detectives learned that the account was associated with Jones’ cell phone number and had been created minutes after Wilson-Walker told Jones what to name it, according to the statement.
Wilson-Walker and Jones are both charged with criminal solicitation of first-degree murder and other related offenses. Wilson-Walker is also charged with stalking, making terroristic threats, and other charges related to the woman.
Both men were arraigned earlier this week and are scheduled for preliminary hearings in February.
