Court documents say Wi and Alexander are accused of conspiring to kill Wi’s stepson, Joseph Bankston, who was fatally shot by Alexander October 4 at a Clarksville home.  

They’re also accused of attempting to kill Alicia Bankston, Wi’s ex-wife; Lilly Wi, their daughter; and Brandon Jimenez, Alicia Bankston’s boyfriend.  

Arrest warrants say Wi was involved in a custody dispute with Alicia Bankston and had life insurance policies on the toddler, his estranged wife and Lilly Wi.
