USA - Ohio. A jury recommended the death penalty for Willie Wilks

A Mahoning County jury recommended the death penalty for Willie Wilks, 42, Black, in the May 21, 2013 death of Orora Wilkins, 20. Wilks is also accused of shooting Alex Morales, 24, in the back as he sat on the porch with Wilkins at a house. Morales survived. Prosecutors painted Wilks as an enraged man looking for revenge when he went to the house that afternoon. Assistant Mahoning County Prosecutor Becky Doherty said Wilks was looking for Orora Wilkins’ brother William “Mister” Wilkins when he went to the house because Wilkins had allegedly accused him of stealing money from a family member. Wilks fired an AK-47. Judge Lou D'Apolito scheduled sentencing Friday morning.
