Randy Walker 1972-November 30, 1995 was an African-American hip hop artist known as Stretch. He was a member of the group Live Squad with his brother Majesty {Christopher Walker} on the record label Tommy Boy. He produced and recorded songs with Tupac Shakur and The Notorious B.I.G. in the period before the two rappers feuded. He was present with Shakur during the robbery on November 30, 1994, in which Shakur was shot 5 times. Exactly one year to the date of Shakur's shooting, Walker was murdered in Queens.

Walker was thought to have set up the robbery that nearly took Shakurs' life. His murder one year to the day later was gang-land style and remains unsolved by police. Shakur implicated him as well as Sean 'Puffy' Combs and the Notorious BIG for involvement in the apparent attempted murder, the beginning of the largest feud in music history. Shakur was murdered in September 1996 and Notorious BIG less than 6 months later. Both murders remain unsolved by police.
