Stevie Wonder’s Nephew: Shake Down Plan Lands Him in Jail

Alpha Lorenzo Walker, a man being identified as Motown legend, Stevie Wonder, nephew has been arrested in connection with his plan to extort money from the singer, by threatening to spread a rumor that he is Stevie Wonder’s son through an incestuous relationship with the singer’s sister, Renee. Walker’s girlfriend, Tamaa Eileen Diaz was also arrested. The couple face felony extortion charges.

The pair were arrested in a sting by the Los Angeles Police Department’s Robbery Homicide Division when officers went undercover to get the goods on them. Posing as Wonder’s representatives they apparently negotiated a much smaller amount than Walker originally demanded.
