      Bailey, Judge.

[1]   Allan Walker, Jr. (“Walker”) petitions for rehearing following our affirmation

      of his conviction for Murder. In relevant part, he asks that we strike the
      Court of Appeals of Indiana |Memorandum Decision on Rehearing 18A-CR-2305 | August 8, 2019         Page 1 of 2
following language in Paragraph 21: “The two other men were never identified,

raising an inference that Walker made no effort to implicate the shooter.”

Because there was testimony that Walker provided police with a name (albeit

one which did not lead to the identification of a shooter) and because the

challenged reference may be seen as commentary upon Walker’s exercise of his

right to remain silent, we delete the objectionable language. In all other

respects, we affirm our original opinion.

Riley, J., and Pyle, J., concur.
