Funeral director kills pallbearer at 10-year-old girl’s burial

A Maryland funeral home owner upset with another company allegedly shot dead a pallbearer during the burial of a 10-year-old girl who died in a drive-by shooting in Washington, DC, on Mother’s Day.

… Wilson Chavis, 48, owner of the Compassion and Serenity Funeral Home, allegedly killed Ronald Banks, 30, who served as a pallbearer at the funeral, as a result of the longstanding business dispute with Freeman Funeral Services.

The deadly violence erupted after the suspect, who provided services for the funeral, confronted a pastor and another person who were reportedly affiliated with Freeman Funeral Services, Fox 5 DC reported.

At the gravesite, Chavis looked at the pastor and yelled, “I’m here for all you b—–a– n——!,” according to court documents cited by WUSA 9.

He then allegedly pushed the pastor and said, “This ain’t your f—— funeral home,” according to the outlet.

When several mourners confronted him about “disrespecting the family,” Chavis backed up, tripped over a nearby concrete vault lid and fell, the documents state.

He then got back up, pulled a gun from his waistband and opened fire, officials said.

The accused gunman was arrested at a traffic stop a short time later.
