WALMART VIC JUST BEGAN JOB

Tragic teen got ma gift with 1st pay

The teen gunned down with five co-workers at a Virginia Walmart had just started working there, and used his first paycheck to buy a gift for his mother, according to a report.

Fernando Chavez-Barron, 16, was a “hardworking” and “humble” 11th-grade honors student who just earned his driver’s license and was an “excellent big brother,” according to a GoFundMe set up for his family, which has brought in more than $14,000.

Chavez-Barron’s name was released Friday, three days after he and five other employees were slain. He was the youngest.

“I was hoping everything was a dream until today,” childhood friend Joshua Trejo-Alvarado told WTKR in Norfolk. “I wish he was still standing here with me.”

Deranged Walmart manager Andre Bing opened fire at his colleagues in the store’s break room just after 10 p.m. Tuesday, before fatally shooting himself.

Oldest victim Randall Blevins, 70, part of a team that arranged merchandise and set prices at the store, told cousin Virgil Wimmer a year ago that he planned to retire soon after working for Walmart for “almost 30 years,” Wimmer told The Post.

But Blevins, who Wimmer described as “laid back,” appeared to have changed his mind, which Wimmer chalked up to the fact that “he really liked Walmart . . . He really enjoyed his job. That’s the reason I found out he decided to work on and not retire.”

One woman who worked with Blevins two decades ago at the company recalled starting her career by his side.

“20 years ago . . . I had this Walmart friend,” the colleague, Denise Black Brzenk, wrote on social media, posting a photo of Blevins in his blue vest. “His name was Randy Blevins.”

Another victim, custodian Lorenzo Gamble, 43, worked at the Chesapeake location for 15 years, his mother, Linda, wrote on Facebook. He’d been preparing to transfer to another store in Grassfield, just nine minutes away.

“What do I do now?” she wrote. “My world is turn[ed] up side down.”

Kellie Pyle, 52, was a mother who planned to wed in 2023.

“We love her,” said Gwendolyn Bowe Baker Spencer, who would have been her mother-in-law. “She was going to marry my son next year. She was an awesome, kind individual — yes she was.”

A makeshift memorial with the words “Our Hearts are with you” and a basket of flowers had been set-up outside the Walmart for Tyneka Johnson, 22.

During her high school years, Johnson had her sights on attending college and “gelled” with everyone she met at Cannon’s Blessed Tutoring Services, tutor Casheba Cannon told the Washington Post.

Brian Pendleton, 38, a custodian who had just celebrated his 10th anniversary at the store, would regularly show up before his 10:30 p.m. start time and was in the break room when Bing began shooting, his mother, Michelle Johnson said.

“He always came to work early so he would be on time,” she said. “He liked his coworkers.”
