The Green Bay police department recommended a series of charges for multiple suspects involved in a "large disturbance" at a Marathon gas station in downtown Green Bay, Wisconsin, however, officers suggested no charges for the person who shot and killed Dominique Marie Wilson.
According to the Green Bay Press Gazette, the shooting took place around 2 a.m. on Nov. 14 during a public disturbance involving multiple people. The other charges recommended were of less severity, but none involved Wilson's death.
Prosecutors later ruled that the shooting was self-defense, Fox 11 News reports. Officials said the shooting originated from an ongoing feud between two groups of people.
According to Fox 11 News, footage showed a group of mostly women carrying weapons including baseball bats, brass knuckles and pepper spray. Wilson was accused of going to her vehicle to grab a loaded handgun and pointing it at others.
Brown County District Attorney David Lasee will have the final say if charges are filed.
Wilson was originally from Chicago
Wilson was born in Chicago originally. However, she'd lived in Green Bay for some time and was a resident in Bettendorf, Iowa, at the time of her death, per The Green Bay Press Gazette.
According to her obituary, she is survived by her husband Sam Burch; her daughters, Tearrie Farrell, Samiya, Samone, Samore and Sammich Burch; her grandson Ja'mir Humphrey; and her brothers, Eluster, Maurice and Jeremy.
This isn't the first time violence has broken out at the gas station
The killing of Wilson isn't the first incident to occur at the gas station. Things suddenly turned violent at the 24-hour gas station during an incident in the spring of 2020 after a group of peaceful protesters gathered for a march in honor of George Floyd in Minneapolis.
People started looting the store when shots rang out and a confrontation with police ensued. In another incident, a 25-year-old man died after being stabbed to death last April.
