Do you know who murdered John Wilson? In the winter of 2010, the life of a young Louisville man was tragically cut short. John P. Wilson, a 24-year-old white male, was killed in what remains an open homicide case. On the evening of Tuesday, January 26, 2010, authorities responded to a call at 1704 DeSoto Terrace, where they found Wilson. His death was officially ruled a murder.
John, who passed away just a day before his death was officially recorded, was a father to three young children: John Jr., Mariah, and David.
He is survived by his parents, Harry and Marsha Wilson, and was the companion of Shameika Wheeler, the mother of his children. His passing left a void in the lives of his family and a host of friends who remembered him fondly.
Despite the passage of time, the circumstances surrounding John Wilson's murder have not led to any publicly announced arrests or the identification of any suspects. The Louisville Metro Police Department continues to list his case among its open homicides, a somber reminder of a life taken too soon and a quest for justice that remains unfulfilled for his family. The investigation into his death is presumably ongoing, as law enforcement continues to seek information that might lead to a resolution.
