Wilson didn’t deny he fired five bullets on the crowded pedestrian mall on Aug. 27. The shots killed 22-year-old Kaleek Jones and injured Xavier Hicks and D’Andre Hicks. But Wilson said he fired the shots in self-defense.
Another man, Donte Taylor, faces three weapons charges for his role in the shooting. He has a plea hearing scheduled for April 10.
