Detroit Man, 19, Arraigned on Murder, Weapons and Fleeing Charges
Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel announced on November 10 that Nicholas K. Wilson, Jr., 19, of Detroit, was arraigned in the 22nd District Court in Inkster on 10 felony charges, including second-degree murder, fleeing and eluding, and multiple weapons charges.
In April 2026, officers from the Michigan State Police (MSP) and the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives arrived at an Inkster residence to execute a search warrant. Wilson is alleged to have fled the residence in an SUV before the warrant was executed, nearly striking an officer's vehicle and fleeing at high speed. At the intersection of Parkwood and Middlebelt, Wilson crashed into another vehicle and allegedly continued fleeing on foot toward a nearby apartment complex. Pursuing MSP Troopers fired at Wilson, believing him to be carrying a firearm, striking him twice in his lower body before arresting him. The driver of the vehicle struck by Wilson was temporarily trapped inside and later died from injuries caused by the crash. Wilson was allegedly found to be carrying two handguns. The Department of Attorney General reviewed the shooting of Wilson by MSP Troopers and found their use of force justified under the law.
Wilson is charged with one count of second-degree murder, punishable by up to life in prison; one count of first-degree fleeing and eluding, a 15-year felony; two counts of carrying a concealed weapon; two counts of assaulting, resisting or obstructing a police officer; and four counts of felony firearm. He will next appear for a probable cause conference on November 18. A criminal charge is merely an allegation, and the defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty.
