Gary Lee Wilson, 27, of Waterloo, was found with a grievous abdominal wound in the 200 block of Jackson Street just before 2 a.m. on August 2, 2014. Officers began CPR and he was taken to UnityPoint Health–Allen Hospital, where he died of his injuries.

Prosecutors and court records say Wilson had been at the home of an acquaintance, Roderick Ward Jr., earlier that night. An argument reportedly followed, and Ward is said to have followed Wilson outside and fired a shotgun multiple times, striking him in the abdomen. Ward was arrested and charged; a jury later convicted him of second-degree murder.

Wilson is memorialized on public rolls noting lives lost to gun violence, marked with the date and place of his death. Does anyone have information about Wilson’s life in Waterloo or memories of that night that could add context to his story?
