William Chavis Raynard Miller Jr., a 15-year-old student, was fatally shot at Mount Tabor High School in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, on September 1, 2021. The shooting happened shortly after noon near the school cafeteria; emergency responders took William to Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center, where he died. The school immediately went into lockdown and other students were secured in safe locations.

Law enforcement identified a 15-year-old fellow student, Maurice Travon Evans Jr., as the suspect and apprehended him later that evening. Authorities described the shooting as a targeted act linked to a prolonged dispute between the two students. Mount Tabor High School held a moment of silence and planted a crepe myrtle tree in the Spartan Memory Garden on the first anniversary of William’s death as a tribute.

If anyone was at Mount Tabor that day or has information about the dispute between William and the other student, please share what is known.
