A 16-year-old helping his family. A mother with wedding plans. A happy-go-lucky guy. A longtime employee. That’s how friends and family describe some of the six people killed Tuesday in a shooting at a Walmart in Virginia.
Blevins never missed a day of work, his stepdaughter said.
Chavez-Barron was an honors student in the 11th grade who had just begun driving and had taken a part-time job to help out his family, according to friends and a GoFundMe page set up for the family. The page’s organizer, Tamara Nelson, confirmed by phone that the page was authentic, but she declined to comment further.
“We love her,” said Gwendolyn Bowe Baker Spencer. “She was going to marry my son next year. She was an awesome, kind individual — yes she was.” “He always came to work early so he would be on time for work,” she told The Associated Press Wednesday. “He liked his coworkers.”His mother said he didn’t have any problems at work, except with a supervisor, Andre Bing, who was identified as the gunman.ADVERTISEMENT“He called me yesterday before he was going to work,” Johnson said. “I always tell him to call me when gets off work.”
His mother said Gamble enjoyed going to his 19-year-old’s football games and cheering for the Washington Commanders NFL team.“Missing my baby right now, life is not same without my son,” she wrote.Theodore Johnson, 41, told The New York Times that his cousin lived with her mother.When Johnson attended Western Branch High School, Casheba Cannon tutored the student with dreams of college and a supportive family, Cannon told The Washington Post.
