Fresh details are emerging about the Walmart massacre in Chesapeake, Virginia which reveal that mass murderer Andre Bing planned his brutal execution ahead of time. The “manifesto” he left behind on his cell phone indicates the team leader had a specific list of co-workers to target. He also legally bought his 9mm handgun that same morning.
Walmart crew ambushed
The Walmart Supercenter’s overnight stocking crew was focused on the Thanksgiving holiday, just before 10 p.m. Tuesday night. They were concerned with getting the store stocked for last minuted customer purchases and tying up their own loose planning ends.
“All right, guys, we have a light night ahead of us,” their team leader laughed, as he came in to the break room. The last thing they expected was for 31-year-old Andre Bing to start blasting.
The first survivor interviewed by the press indicated he was shooting wildly. Briana Tyler told reporters, “he was just shooting all throughout the room. It didn’t matter who he hit.”
Following a vigil last night honoring the victims of the Walmart shooting, Chesapeake Police are releasing the name of the juvenile victim. It is with great sadness that we confirm 16-year-old Fernando Chavez-Barron of Chesapeake was the juvenile victim in this tragedy. pic.twitter.com/l90Y1GPPe7

She’s the one who mentioned that as the meeting was about to start, Bing informed them, “all right, guys, we have a light night ahead of us,” turned around and opened fire. The Walmart worker added, “he didn’t say anything. He didn’t look at anybody in any specific type of way.” That account was contradicted by another witness. His “manifesto” also seems to indicate he had a deadly plan.
Jessica Wilczewski believes the only reason she’s still alive is because she hadn’t been working for Walmart long enough to irritate the assassin. Jessica believes he was targeting “certain people.” She could tell that by “way he was acting.”
It looked to her a lot like “he was going hunting. The way he was looking at people’s faces and the way he did what he did, he was picking people out.” Not only that, he made a point of being thorough. “What I do know is that he made sure who he wanted dead, was dead. To make sure.”
Spared because she was new
As soon as Bing opened fire, Jessica’s co-worker dragged her under the table but they couldn’t hide. Bing ordered her to get out from under there, then, “when he saw who she was, he told her, ‘Jessie, go home.‘ She said she slowly got up and then ran out of the store.”
Bing “had a reputation” with Walmart staff for being “an aggressive, if not hostile, supervisor.” He admitted his “anger issues.” He had a lighter side too. He “also could make people laugh.”
Former employee Nathan Sinclair relates he “worked at the Walmart for nearly a year before leaving earlier this month.” He doesn’t “think he had many people to fall back on in his personal life.”

Crew complaints that work was “consuming” their life were met with a response by Bing that “yeah, I don’t have a social life anyway.” He had a reputation for being “verbally hostile” to employees and “wasn’t particularly well-liked.” He also had people making fun of him and was “not necessarily treated fairly.”
The victims have all been confirmed as employees of Walmart. Police identified: “Brian Pendleton, 38; Kellie Pyle, 52; Lorenzo Gamble, 43; and Randy Blevins, 70, who were all from Chesapeake; and Tyneka Johnson, 22, of nearby Portsmouth.” The name of a 16-year-old minor was initially withheld then revealed as Fernando Chavez-Barron. The note Bing left in his phone allegedly contains phrases like “God forgive me for what I’m going to do.”
Names of particular targets have been redacted but they are in there. The “winding, 11-paragraph note includes references to a ‘demonic aura,‘ betrayal, a suspicion his phone had been hacked and perceived slights from co-workers.” The big question is how Walmart management missed all the red danger flags for so long. Donya Prioleau informs that Bing often “said a lot of disturbing things” and was “condescending” and “quite mean to a lot of us.” Others verify “he was paranoid and kept black tape over his phone camera.” According to former staffer, Shaundrayia Reese, “he was always saying the government was watching him. Everyone always thought something was wrong with him.”
