The father of a 16-year-old boy shot to death at a May 22 birthday barbecue in Auburn pleaded not guilty Thursday to first-degree assault and unlawful possession of a firearm, for allegedly firing shots during the ensuing melee at the people he held responsible for the killing.

Adrian Wilson and his family had been attending the barbecue that afternoon in the common area of the Aspen Meadows Apartments at 402 21st St. S.

Police responding to multiple reports of shots fired found young Wilson on the ground in front of apartment No. 45, dead, and his father nearby. Two other young men, Steven Chehey and Roberto Carro-Aguilar, lay on the ground with gunshot wounds. They were taken to Harborview Medical Center in serious condition.

Branham told police that at that point, he ran into his apartment with his mother and Mills' girlfriend, yelling at them to get down because there was shooting. He told police that when he looked out of the window a short time later, he saw people surrounding the fallen Wilson and Wilson's father rounding the corner toward the apartments, gun in hand. Branham said he heard multiple shots being fired into the apartment, one narrowly missing his mother. As the shots were being fired, he heard Gabriel Wilson shout, "I am going to ... kill you guys!" and yelling about his son, according to the police account.

3. Castle Doctrnie doesn't condone revenge unless it's properly staged.

This father was just pursuing personal justice.

4. here's an important point, buried in the last paragraph:

Wilson, a documented member of the Nortenos, a criminal street gang based in Northern California, has a prior felony conviction for heroin possession, 4th-degree assault, resisting arrest and 3rd-degree theft and is not allowed to possess a firearm. Bail was set at $750,000."

He is just a gangster out for vengeance.

5. Not allowed to possess didn't mean much did it. Only making them scarce will make a difference.
