It's been revealed the man shot dead by police at Glendale had only been released on bail in January and was due to face court again next week for allegedly stabbing an inmate at Kempsey Gaol.
It's emerged 21-year-old Tafari Walton had a history of mental illness and domestic violence and served two years gaol over a siege at his mother's Vena Street home in 2016 where he was shot dead yesterday after allegedly lunging at police with a hunting knife.
Walton was wanted over the stabbing death of his former girlfriend, 27-year-old Gabriella Thompson on Wednesday, leaving behind the couple's only child.
A Go Fund Me page set up to support Ms Thompson's child has so far raised more than $5000.
