OSHKOSH, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) – Daniel Wilson was convicted for a drug-deal related homicide, and will be sentenced Feb. 18.
Wilson, 18, pleaded no contest Monday to a reduced count of first-degree reckless homicide for the July 2, 2024, shooting, court records show. He had been facing a charge of first-degree intentional homicide.
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.
