Mother & Son Killed in Wilson triple shooting, one injured
A mother and and her son was shot and killed Monday afternoon on Washington Street and Wilson police has taken Donta Maurice Chestnut, 39, the founder of Our Wilson, a nonprofit organization focused on bridging gaps and empowering youth through mentorship, education, and community activities into custody.
Chestnut is charged with two counts of first-degree murder in the deaths of 44-year-old Natasha Latrice Sutton and her son, 21-year-old Avantae Pender.
The triple shooting occurred in the 900 block of Washington Street around 2 p.m.
Chestnut is also charged with one count of attempted first-degree murder for injuring 37-year-old Tiffany Fogg of Wilson in the shooting. She was transported to Wilson Medical Center, where she is recovering from non-life-threatening injuries.
As we reported earlier, sources told The North Carolina Beat that this all stemmed from Chestnut attempting to evicting Sutton and her son, Avantae, from their home. In a video obtained by The North Carolina Beat, Chestnut appears to be at the residence of Sutton and her son. Sutton can be heard on the phone with someone, during which Chestnut can be heard telling the person on the line:
“They gotta go today,” Chestnut says. “They can record all they want, they can record all they want… they getting out today.”
The video, which was streamed live as Chestnut confronted Sutton, has since been deleted.
