The long-awaited coronial findings into the 2019 death in custody of Aboriginal man Kumanjayi Walker will be delayed by a month, after the death of another Warlpiri man in Alice Springs last week.

A man in his early 20s is believed to be the 29th fatality in Sydney's gangland war, with detectives saying he had no criminal links before being shot 10 times on the driveway of the family home on Monday night.

The coroner's findings into the death of Kumanjayi Walker, an Aboriginal man shot by a Northern Territory police officer in 2019, will be handed down on June 10, 2025. It comes after a series of delays that made the coronial inquiry the longest-running and most expensive in the territory's history.

Every day of the coronial inquest into the death of Kumanjayi Walker, a sign reading "tell the truth" has stood outside the Alice Springs Local Court. Now, with final submissions heard, the NT coroner faces the task of finding that truth.

Lawyers for the NT Police Force have described one of their former officers as an alleged "racist", "misogynist" and "narcissist, with grandiose ideas about his own abilities", at the inquest into the fatal police shooting of Kumanjayi Walker.
