Timothy Wilson, 49, was shot and killed on July 23, 2014, in East Oakland. Officers responding to the 5900 block of East 17th Street at about 3:08 p.m. found Wilson with gunshot wounds; he was pronounced dead at the scene. Wilson was a resident of San Leandro.

Investigators arrested 28-year-old Gerald Gipson, an ex-felon, on charges including first-degree murder for Wilson’s death. Gipson faced additional charges tied to a September 25, 2014 ATM robbery in Oakland and two counts of being a felon in possession of a firearm. Gipson admitted to shooting Wilson at trial but said he acted in self-defense; prosecutors said the shooting resulted from Gipson hunting for Wilson in a gang-related dispute and presented evidence linking the same gun to both the ATM robbery and the killing.

Does anyone have information about Wilson’s last movements that afternoon or about the dispute that led to this shooting?
