The Jacksonville man accused of the shooting death of a former Jacksonville resident over the weekend made his first appearance in court this morning.
37-year-old Joshua E. Wilson of Jacksonville was arraigned in Morgan County Court this morning. Wilson was charged with three counts of first-degree murder in the death of 26-year-old Malcolm V. Fitts of Chicago and formerly of Jacksonville.
Fitts died of gunshot wounds at Passavant Area Hospital just before 7:00 am Sunday, after Jacksonville Police were called to the scene of a shooting in the parking lot of the Turner High Rise Apartment Complex in the 800 block of Hoagland Boulevard at approximately 5:30 am.
