The station said Walden and Lyons started working at Spectrum News 13 last year and were paired up on the night shift.

Walden also described Lyons as a "very, very wholesome person" who "had a great sense of humor, too."
"He had a very strong sense of justice," Walden told Spectrum News 13. "He would really want everyone to follow the rules when it came to people of power."

Moses was initially charged with first-degree murder in the shooting of Nathacha Augustin, 38, and deputies say that additional charges will be added for the fatal shooting of Lyons as well as the shooting of Walden.
A 9-year-old, T'yonna Major, also was killed, and her mother was injured Wednesday when the news crew was shot in the late afternoon.
