Around 7:15 a.m. Tuesday, Dayton police responded to stabbing reported at an apartment in the 1900 block of Elsmere Avenue.
Officers spoke to Walker, who said his boyfriend had been accidentally stabbed with a wire coat hanger, according to records.
The man, later identified as 34-year-old Steven Echols, had a serious wound on his upper chest and neck area.
Echols was taken to Miami Valley Hospital, where he died from his injuries.
