The shooting occurred shortly before midnight.
According to testimony at his preliminary hearing last year, Wilson allegedly emerged from his apartment with a .38 caliber revolver in response to the disturbance.

Dimond testified at Wilson’s preliminary hearing that the shooting left him hospitalized for 13 days with a collapsed lung.
