D.C. man admits to shooting woman in the head

By Maggie Fazeli Fard

A District man admitted to shooting a woman in the head after she told him she had given him the AIDS virus, authorities said Monday.

Lloyd Wilkins, 49, pleaded guilty to aggravated assault, possession of a firearm during a crime of violence and possession of an unregistered firearm, according to U.S. Attorney Ronald C. Machen Jr.

According to authorities, in April the victim visited Wilkins at his home in Northeast Washington. The two drank alcohol and had sex. Then, the victim told Wilkins she had given him AIDS, authorities said.

Wilkins then walked to his bedroom closet and retrieved a 12-gauge, single-shot shotgun. He pointed it in the victim’s direction and the weapon went off, striking her in the head.

Wilkins called 911 and said he had shot someone.

Despite her injury, the victim called a friend to pick her up from Wilkins’s house and drive her to the hospital. She underwent several surgeries and remains deaf in her right ear.

According to the victim’s medical records, which were presented as evidence in the case, she does not have AIDS. Authorities said she was joking when she told Wilkins that she had infected him.

Wilkins is scheduled to be sentenced Feb. 3.

Aids should be considered a weapon. Still though I wouldn't shoot her in the head

 

[mieraviking]

these damn woman try and test always playing games. saying you're prego when you're not is one thing but to mess with this eggs stuff is crayz

 

[kilojules64]

I wouldn't acquit him but who pretends to have given someone AIDS? Did she think he would react in her favor somehow?

 

[speakup23]

Why would you play around with something like that?

That **#! makes it SOOOOO hard to feel bad for her

Warned.

 

[balloonoboy]

Sorry but

 

[daytona 5000]

Dude gave no dambs. I don't think he should be acquitted though.

I bet that chick won't ever make another joke again.

 

[scshift]

Dude should have used a condom

And that's a very stupid joke

People still going to war and not putting on a helmet, smh.

Dude should've kept his cool there's only a 0.05% chance of getting HIV when having unprotected sex with a woman, on top of everything she was kidding.

 

[bboi4lif3]

I would have made sure I killed her.

 

[bronle]

Deaf in her right ear? I wonder if she'll need a hearing aid?

[aqua 8s]

She was drunk so it's hard to say that she deserved to be shot in the head over a joke

 

[renzo289]

you must fail to realize this happened in DC, where statistically its something like one in ten people have HIV...
probability is way higher out here...
i also read somewhere on the net that its easier for a woman to contract HIV than it is for a man...
*edit* @ BronLe 

 

[ravagebx]

Definitely won't get acquitted. He'll probably plead temporary insanity and get a reduced sentence though.

 

[mercutio]

WOW... that is one stupid sense of humor. I can't say that I feel sorry for her, but damn, that dude literally went off.

 

[eashawty]

[ryda421]

 

[Pathos]

@ the lady for saying she had AIDS.

Dude should've been wearing a condom in the first place.
