(Michigan City, IN) - A man has been arrested for what could be an execution style shooting death in Michigan City that occurred last Thursday night at about 9:00 p.m.  David "DJ" Wilson, Jr. is charged in La Porte Superior Court 1 with murder, attempted murder, aggravated battery and other counts like criminal confinement.

 

The victim, Susan Simmons, 58, and her husband, Thomas Simmons, 60, were shot while inside an SUV parked in front of a residence in the 200 block of Calumet Avenue, just north of Michigan Boulevard and west of Carroll Avenue, police said.

 

Police said the woman was found deceased inside the vehicle.  Mr. Simmons was shot multiple times and transported to the hospital with injuries described by police as “non-life threatening.”

 

Police said Wilson pulled up, stepped out of a vehicle and fired multiple shots into the SUV before fleeing.  He was taken into custody a short time later after crashing the vehicle in the 3200 block of Dody Avenue.  Police said a stolen handgun was recovered during his arrest and a database check revealed the vehicle he crashed was reported stolen.

 

Wilson was being held without bond pending a future court hearing.
