Share

On January 25, 2023, a Knox County jury found Brandon Wilson guilty of Attempted First Degree Murder in connection with a March 3, 2022 shooting at Belle Isle Apartments in the 1400 block of N. West Street in Galesburg, Illinois.  After a three-day jury trial, the jury deliberated for an hour before returning a guilty verdict on the attempt murder charge as well on charges of Aggravated Battery with a Firearm, Aggravated Discharge of a Firearm and Unlawful Possession of a Weapon by a Felon. Wilson will remain in custody until his sentencing hearing later this year. 

Knox County State’s Attorney Jeremy S. Karlin made a statement after the guilty verdict.  “This case was magnificently tried by Assistant State’s Attorney Ashley Worby. The work done here is another example of the priority this office places on the prosecution of crimes of violence and gun crimes. In the months to come, we will be trying crimes of violence and gun crimes before Knox County juries and after obtaining guilty verdicts, seeking significant jail sentences.”

Knox County State’s Attorney Jeremy Karlin is committed to making our community safe through evidence-based prosecution and equal justice for all. This means guaranteeing a fair process to obtain a just result for the victim, the accused and the community in every case.
