he killed an innocent bystander while shooting at another man in Norristown last year, police said.
On October 7, 2022, at 2:02 p.m., police responded to the 800 block of Arch Street in Norristown for a report of a shooting. When they arrived they found 47-year-old Anthony Vitelli suffering from a gunshot wound to the chest. Vitelli was taken to the hospital where he was later pronounced dead. Investigators found eight 9MM fired cartridge casings and a deformed projectile at the scene of the shooting.
Investigators believe Wilson was trying to shoot another man as a form of retaliation after the man's friend shot Wilson in the leg back on July 27, 2022, in Norristown. The man was among a group of people at whom Wilson fired during Vitelli’s killing, police said. That man shot back once, but detectives believe it was Wilson’s gunfire that killed Vitelli.
