relationship between 30-year-old Devontae Gray and 29-year-old Alexis Schuler had been volatile Capitol Heights Police Chief Darryl Morgan said officers had been called to the home on Larchmont Avenue on multiple occasions in the past eight months though none of those calls ever resulted in an arrest He had also requested protective orders against Schuler Prince George’s County State’s Attorney Aisha Braveboy noted it was significant that those requests were rejected “Our first visit in the month of January was on Jan where we actually saw her driving by the residence when we responded to his call for complaint,” Morgan said Authorities believe she was shot and killed on Jan Gray told another woman who he had a child with that he might be going to jail Schuler’s family filed a missing person’s report in D.C While Capitol Heights officers noticed a smell inside the home they noted the residence was also in dirty condition they returned with a search warrant and started combing through the home along with the Prince George’s County Fire Department located Ms Schuler’s remains inside a newly constructed wall,” Prince George’s County Police Chief Malik Aziz said After breaking through drywall underneath a stairwell that was covered by a fake brick wall Schuler’s body was found inside a plastic bin that was filled with soil and hay It took authorities about three hours to retrieve her body “To go inside of that residence and see what Devontae Gray was doing in that house it was a great amount of work being done and to conceal what he had done,” Aziz said “This is a shared residence of someone up top and someone at the bottom.” He then posted a picture of the new construction that police had cut through to find the body “And as you can see from this picture right here where we’ve been allowed to show without compromising the early investigation of this case police said Gray confessed to shooting her two to three times “It was clear that this was not a relationship that was going in the right direction and now we have the ultimate tragedy and a very very young woman who’s a mother of three who will never be able to hold her children again,” Braveboy said Relatives of Schuler also gave a statement on Tuesday “Although the outcome is not what we had hoped we take solace in knowing that Alexis has been found and we now have the closure to lay her to rest in peace,” said Derrick Felder and there is a void in our family that can never be filled Her three children will no longer feel their mother’s embrace or hear their mother’s voice.” Felder also echoed law enforcement in the warnings about domestic violence Someone who truly loves you would never do what Devontae Gray did to her,” he said “Please take domestic violence seriously look at my cousin’s story and know that it is a call to wake up seek help and prioritize your safety above all.” It’s not clear if Schuler and Gray were involved romantically at the time of her death Gray faces first and second-degree murder charges as well as other firearm related charges Lawyers for Gray waived a bond hearing set for Tuesday afternoon He will remain behind bars while prosecutors present the case to a grand jury in the coming weeks “He’s facing some serious charges now and there may be others that are considered in the near future,” Braveboy said “We believe him to have committed this homicide and tried to conceal it there is no justification for (this) homicide.” John has been with WTOP since 2016 but has spent most of his life living and working in the DMV covering nearly every
