Murders
In October 2005, Wilkins was offered crack cocaine by 40-year-old Willie Freeman, a local drug dealer. However, Freeman instead gave Wilkins a piece of gravel for $20. When Wilkins discovered the ruse, Freeman and his supplier, 33-year-old Mike Silva, started laughing at him. Over the next few weeks, however, Wilkins and Freeman used drugs together. Freeman eventually apologized for tricking Wilkins and gave him actual drugs to make up for it. Wilkins later said that by then, he had already decided he was going to kill Freeman.On October 27, 2005, Wilkins told Freeman that he had guns and drugs stashed on the west side of Fort Worth. Silva agreed to drive them there the next day. Wilkins directed Silva to a deserted stretch of road. While Silva was driving, Wilkins shot Freeman in the head. Silva stopped and tried to escape, but got caught in his seatbelt. Wilkins shot him once in the neck and twice in the head. Wilkins then got into the driver's seat and started driving, with Silva's body hanging out. He later dumped the bodies in a ditch on the side of the road.
The numbers "666" and a pentagram matching one of Wilkins' numerous tattoos were found carved into Silva's car at the scene of the murders. Wilkins' fingerprints were also found. The previous day, Wilkins had also killed Gilbert Vallejo, 47, outside a bar in south Fort Worth after a dispute over a payphone.
About a week earlier, Wilkins used a stolen Ford Explorer that he had taken days prior from a home burglary and picked up a prostitute. Wilkins had switched the plates to a similar make and model vehicle. The prostitute became nervous soon after Wilkins picked her up after running over several individuals on East Lancaster Ave. The behavior prompted the prostitute to solicit Wilkins to stop at a nearby convenience store, where she contacted 911. Fort Worth Police Officer J. Parsons and Sgt. Weber responded, and a high speed chase ensued into Haltom City. After Wilkins wrecked out and fled on foot, he was apprehended after shouting to police to kill him. Wilkins had methamphetamine and stolen property inside the vehicle.
