On Saturday, April 27th, 1996, just before 4:00am, William Edward Wilson, also known as “Pee Wee,” was using a payphone at the corner of 16th Avenue North and Buchanan Street when a car pulled up next to him. The passenger window of the car rolled down and the person in that seat shot at Wilson, fatally striking him. There were varied descriptions of the vehicle and the passengers, but most agreed that it was a blue car with tinted windows and chrome wheels with a white male in either the driver’s and/or the passenger seat. William Edward Wilson was 33 years old at the time of his death.
