No Bullet Wounds Found on Ajene Wilkins
When Ajene Wilkins was rushed to the hospital with blood oozing from several parts of his body, claiming that he was shot in the waist and beaten, he wasn’t telling the whole truth.
Wilkins was severely beaten but not shot. On Saturday night in Villa, a robbery suspect, Wilkins was reportedly assaulted by masked individuals and is currently receiving medical treatment in the hospital.
Although the man claimed to have been shot, no gunshot wounds were found on his body, but he exhibited injuries consistent with being beaten with a blunt object.
He is suspected of being involved in the recent armed robbery at the Pearl River Supermarket in Villa, during which a policeman’s firearm was stolen.
He is anticipated to face charges related to this robbery in the coming days.
