GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ) — Brown County District Attorney David Lasee will not press charges against the man who shot and killed Dominique Wilson at the Marathon Gas Station on East Walnut Street in Green Bay on November 14th, saying that the shooter acted in self defense.
Jaylene Edwards is said to have shot Wilson during an altercation between several women at the gas station. The fight between the women involved bats, brass knuckles, and pepper spray. According to evidence, Wilson pulled out a gun and began pointing it at other people in the parking lot, and was apparently attempting to fire it. That’s when Edwards, who was observing the altercation, pulled out a firearm and shot Wilson several times, killing her.

“The evidence collected and reviewed by the Green Bay Police Department and the Brown County District Attorney’s Office does not support charges in this case; rather, it suggests that Edwards subjectively feared for his life and/or the lives of others, and that his subjective belief was reasonable in this instance,” Lasee wrote.
Edwards spoke to police on his own accord two days after the incident and spoke with investigators, who say that he provided information “largely consistent” with evidence.
Lasee called Wilson’s death a “tragic event”.
