Officers at the scene said they searched Wilson's car and found marijuana on the floorboard and a loaded gun under the front passenger seat. They said when they ran the serial number, it returned as stolen in a case that was dated on November 13, 2021.
After interviewing witnesses and the alleged victim, authorities said Wilson forced his way into the apartment of a person he knew, assaulted them and threatened to kill them. Wilson then allegedly walked out of the apartment, went to his vehicle and grabbed the gun. The alleged victim said they shut and locked the door of their apartment and that's when Wilson allegedly fired the gun in the parking lot.
Authorities said the victim suffered injuries, but did not want to go to the hospital. Wilson allegedly told authorities he did not know the gun was stolen.
He is currently in the Brazos County Jail on $33,000 bond.
