Ryan J. Alexander told police that he thought Michael Wilson just wanted to know where he could buy a joint. The 20-year-old claimed he had no idea Wilson wanted to commit a robbery.
So Alexander took Wilson to apartment 204 at 400 East Armour Boulevard on Sunday. Wilson claimed that Wilson knocked on the door and kicked it when it opened. Shots were fired. He took off running.
Alexander claimed that he didn't know Wilson wanted to rob the guy in 2004 and said he never saw Wilson holding a gun or wearing a bandanna over his face. Alexander also told police that he put his hood up when he heard gunshots because he didn't want anyone to see him.
The owner of the apartment told police that someone
knocked on his door and when he yelled "Who is it?" no one answered. The man picked up his gun and opened his door. As he opened the door, a man holding a gun and
wearing something over his face kicked the door into him, knocking him
down. The man said he fired three shots, one of which accidentally struck him in the arm.
Police found a black pellet gun near Wilson's body, which was in the
doorway of the second-floor apartment. When his body was turned over,
Wilson was wearing a black bandanna over his face.
Wilson's
20th birthday came two days before his death.
Jackson County prosecutors charged Alexander Thursday with
second-degree murder and armed criminal action for allegedly in
connection with Wilson's death.
