Wilson Chavis is a killer from Hughesville, Maryland
Wilson Chavis is accused of murdering a 30-year-old pallbearer, who was later identified as Ronald Steven Banks.
Ronald was a pallbearer in Washington National Cemetery in Suitland where the awful accident occurred.
Ronald was allegedly shot and killed by the 48-year-old owner of the Compassion and Serenity Funeral Home as a result of a long-standing commercial dispute with Freeman Funeral Services.
The incident took place on Tuesday, June 6 when Chavis allegedly confronted two people at a young kid’s funeral.
One of his victims, a woman, suffered a graze wound in the shooting and has been released from the hospital. Banks, another victim, died at the hospital.
Arianna Davis, a 10-year-old girl, was shot and killed last month on Mother’s Day in northeastern D.C. while in a car with her family. Her funeral has taken place.

Prince George’s County police reported that Chavis allegedly fired two bullets and then fled in his car. A Morningside Police Department officer, who had pulled him over for a traffic violation, apprehended him.
Chavis faces charges of first- and second-degree murder, attempted murder, and other offenses.
If found guilty, Chavis could spend his life imprisonment, says the Prince George’s County State’s Attorney’s Office representative.
They are holding him without bond at the Prince George’s County Department of Corrections, says an officer.
Is Wilson Chavis related to the late Arianna Davis?
The pastor, Arianna’s uncle, was reportedly one of those employees who allegedly associated with Freeman Funeral Services.
Chavis turned to the pastor before the terrible violence erupted at the graveyard and yelled,
“I’m here for all you b—–a– n——!,”
According to court documents obtained by WUSA 9, he then allegedly pushed the pastor and said,
“This ain’t your f—— funeral home,”
According to the records, when some of the mourners confronted Chavis about “disrespecting the family,” Chavis retreated, tripped over a nearby concrete vault cover, and fell.
However, he later stood back up, pulled a revolver from his belt, and started shooting. A traffic stop led to his apprehension shortly after.
Ariana’s mother, Antionette Belk spoke to NBC Washington about her grief over the incident and the death of her daughter.
“I’m so traumatized that this happened at my daughter’s burial site. I didn’t even get to lay her down, even to put her in the ground, and another incident happened. This is so traumatizing to me, my children, my whole family. It’s trauma after trauma,”
