Overview
- Justin Wilson, who was charged Friday with first-degree murder, is being held without bail at the Montgomery County Correctional Facility while he awaits arraignment, with a preliminary hearing set for May 19.
- Police say he called 911 on Feb. 1 to report his father shot himself, but troopers found Kevin Wilson in bed with a head wound and signs of a struggle in the Trappe home.
- An autopsy on Feb. 2 found the bullet’s path and powder burns did not match a self-inflicted shot, leading officials to rule the death a homicide after further testing.
- Investigators say Wilson gave evolving, conflicting accounts of the night, and they traced the handgun to a Taurus he bought on Jan. 10.
- Relatives told detectives he bullied his father and asked about inheriting money and the home soon after the shooting, according to the affidavit.
