Maryland funeral home owner charged in murder at child's burial
Quote:
A D.C. mother was trying to bury her 10-year-old daughter after a shooter killed the child on Mother’s Day — but a deadly shooting carried out by the funeral home owner interrupted her burial service, police and the mother said.
The mother of Arianna Davis, Antionette Belk, said the shooting at Washington National Cemetery on Tuesday killed a family friend, injured a family member and prevented her from seeing her child’s casket get lowered into the ground.
“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,” Belk told News4 on Wednesday.
As the burial ceremony was getting underway in Suitland, Maryland, the owner of the funeral home providing burial services clashed with two people affiliated with a second funeral home with whom he had a long-standing business dispute, police said in an update Wednesday.
“I own this body!” Wilson Chavis yelled, according to Belk.
He spit on the preacher, the grieving mother said.
Several attendees of the burial confronted Chavis. He pulled out a gun, fired two shots and drove away from the cemetery, police said.
Minutes later, police pulled him over and took him into custody.
