Couple Found At Oakland Hills Home Were Founders Of Luxury Fashion Brand: Reports

BERKELEY, CA — A married couple found shot to death outside an affluent area near UC Berkeley on Friday were identified by multiple news reports as the founders of women's fashion company Bryn Walker.

Michelle Min, 63, and Bryan Walker, 61, were found fatally shot outside their Oakland Hills home in the 400 block of Panoramic Way just before 11 a.m., according to the San Francisco Chronicle.

A firearm was recovered at the scene, the Oakland Police Department said on Friday.

The circumstances surrounding the shooting remain unclear, with police saying on Friday that they have not currently identified a suspect and have not ruled out a possible murder-suicide.

Walker, according to the California Post, lost more than $100 million in risky business moves before being found dead alongside his wife.

Walker suffered extensive mental anguish in the months leading up to the fatal shooting, according to the California Post, which said it spoke to the woman's brother-in-law, Paul Min.

An eerie video obtained by CBS but not aired, after the company said it was too horrifying to play on the air, appears to capture the shooting, followed by a man crying and screaming.

"My sister was utterly devoted to Bryan to the very end, and he shot her,” Paul Min told the California Post. "She didn’t say anything harsh to him. She just said, 'Bryan, you’ve been sick. It’s my fault, I should have known better. I should have known you were in a crisis..'"

The couple's fashion company, Byrn Walker, was founded in Berkeley in 1992.
