Michael Wilkerson Arrested and Charged in Fatal Shooting of Liquor Store Employee Darrell King at South Post Oak Road
Charges have been filed against a suspect involved in the fatal shooting of a woman at a business on the 14300 block of South Post Oak Road.
The incident occurred around 12:30 p.m. on Tuesday, November 12.
The suspect, identified as 39-year-old Michael Dewayne Wilkerson, faces charges of capital murder and tampering with physical evidence in the 182nd State District Court.
A booking photo of Wilkerson has been made available by the authorities.
Wilkerson is accused of killing 29-year-old Darrell Lynn Tikisha King.
Officers from the Houston Police Department’s Homicide Division, Sergeants R. Watson and M. Burrow, reported that HPD patrol officers responded to a call regarding a shooting at the business.
Upon arrival, officers discovered an unresponsive woman, later identified as Ms. King, who had sustained gunshot wounds.
Paramedics from the Houston Fire Department pronounced her dead at the scene. King was reportedly an employee at the business where the shooting took place.
Following an initial investigation, Wilkerson, who had previously been in a relationship with King, was identified as the primary suspect.
On Wednesday, November 13, officers from the HPD Southwest Patrol Division Crime Suppression Team apprehended Wilkerson without incident. He was subsequently transported and booked into the Harris County Jail.
The investigation remains ongoing as authorities continue to gather evidence related to this tragic event.
LAS VEGAS, NV – A 36-year-old man accused of setting multiple Tesla vehicles on fire using Molotov cocktails has been arrested and charged with multiple felonies, according to court and jail records.
The suspect, identified as Paul Hyon Kim, was booked into the Clark County Detention Center on Wednesday.
He faces 15 charges, including:
- Arson,
- Destruction of property valued at $5,000 or more,
- Possession of an incendiary device, and
- Misdemeanor discharging a firearm into a vehicle.
Video footage from the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department (LVMPD) showed a suspect, dressed in black, targeting at least five Tesla vehicles in the parking lot of a Tesla service center located at 6260 Badura Avenue, near Jones Boulevard and the 215 Beltway.
The incident occurred around 2:45 a.m. on February 18.
Authorities say the suspect used multiple incendiary devices to ignite the Teslas, one of which failed to detonate and was recovered inside a vehicle.
Additionally, the front doors of the facility were vandalized with the word “RESIST” spray-painted across them.
During a news conference later that morning, Assistant Sheriff Dori Koren described the attack as a targeted assault on Tesla property, with potential ideological motivations.
“This was a targeted attack against a Tesla facility,” Koren stated. “While we believe this was an isolated incident, we are increasing our presence at Tesla-related locations throughout the valley as a precaution.”
The Clark County Fire Department and the FBI’s Joint Terrorism Task Force are actively involved in the investigation.
FBI Special Agent in Charge Spencer Evans acknowledged the attack had “some of the hallmarks of terrorism” but refrained from making a definitive classification.
Attorney General Pam Bondi, however, released a strongly worded statement, referring to the attack as part of a pattern of violence targeting Tesla facilities.
“The swarm of violent attacks on Tesla property is nothing short of domestic terrorism,” Bondi stated.
Kim remains in custody as the investigation continues.
Authorities urge anyone with additional information to contact Las Vegas Metro Police or the FBI.
