OSHKOSH, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) – Daniel Wilson allegedly shot and killed a man who approached him about buying drugs, according to a criminal complaint filed Tuesday.
The shooting happened shortly before midnight on July 2 near Wisconsin Street in Oshkosh.
Wilson, 18, of Fond du Lac, made an initial appearance Tuesday in Winnebago County court on a count of first-degree intentional homicide. A $1 million cash bond was set. He returns to court July 25 for a preliminary hearing.
Witnesses told police the victim, a 19-year-old Michigan man, approached Wilson and others about buying drugs, but they weren’t interested. Words were exchanged before Wilson allegedly shot the man, according to the criminal complaint.
“Daniel told (a witness) that the guy who asked him to buy weed reached into his own waistband and Daniel said that he thought the guy had a gun even though Daniel never saw the gun. Daniel told (the witness) that he shot that guy in the stomach,” the complaint states.
The victim suffered five gun shot wounds: three to the chest, one to the neck, and one to the hand, the complaint states.
Wilson was taken into custody in Fond du Lac about three hours after the shooting.
