Walkes je stradao u sudaru dva čamca u blizini Miami Marine stadiona. Na mjestu nesreće pronađen je u besvjesnom stanju, a reanimacija je bila bezuspješna.

Ovaj 25-godišnji fudbaler rođen u Londonu ponikao je u Tottenhamu, čije je boje u omladinskim kategorijama branio od 2013. do 2017. godine. Potom je bio u Portsmouthu, a od 2020. je u SAD-u.

Prvo je bio član Atlante, a zatim Charlottea u MLS-u. U elitnom rangu američkog fudbala odigrao je 91 meč.
