Ronald J. Chillis Jr., 32, was shot multiple times at his home on Ronald Lane in Four Corners, St. Mary Parish, Louisiana, on the evening of October 8, 2014. Deputies found him with gunshot wounds to the chest; he was taken to Franklin Foundation Hospital and pronounced dead.
Detectives identified two suspects early in the investigation. The day after the shooting, 24-year-old Anthony Jamal Loston of Jeanerette was named a person of interest and a warrant was issued for principal to second-degree murder; Loston turned himself in to the Jeanerette City Marshals and was taken into custody. Further inquiry, including eyewitness testimony, cell phone data, and video surveillance, placed Henderson Dwight Wesley at the scene and as the person who fired several shots through the front door.
A jury later convicted Henderson Wesley of second-degree murder and he was sentenced to life in prison without probation, parole, or suspension of sentence; Ronald Chillis Jr.’s parents gave emotional testimony at sentencing about the loss to their family and friends.
