Loved ones do not know the details surrounding the double fatal shooting.
13 Action News has not confirmed the identity of the second man killed.
"It was just devastating to get that call," said Ford. "I've been looking on the news, trying to find stories."
Police said an altercation occurred between four men inside a dark-colored Nissan Altima. A backseat passenger fired several shots, killing Wilson and the front seat passenger. Police said the surviving passengers have not been charged with a crime at this time. The investigation is ongoing.
"The most messed up thing about it, we don't know what's going on," said Ford.
Multiple neighbors tell 13 Action News the shooter is a beloved local jeweler. We're told he was defending himself during a botched robbery. Police have not confirmed those details.
Ford said Wilson, a father of four, also leaves behind a devastated mother and sister.
"It hurts because I'm not going to be able to see him no more, hug him," she said.
13 Action News is working to gather more details regarding this incident.
