Tulsa man sentenced to 262 months for second-degree murder in a fatal shooting incident

A Tulsa man has been sentenced to 262 months in prison for second-degree murder.

27-year-old Dillon Charles Wilson, a citizen of Muscogee (Creek) Nation, has been sentenced to 262 months in prison followed by five years of supervised release for second-degree murder.

According to court documents, on January 19, 2022, Jamitric Landrum and his girlfriend were at home when someone attempted to force the door open. They opened the door and saw a dark figure going around the corner.

The two then left the apartment and got into their vehicle to look for the suspect. Landrum was driving and pulled into a parking lot where he got into a brief verbal interaction with Wilson.

According to the same documents, Landrum’s girlfriend saw that Wilson was armed and told him to drive away. As they drove away, Wilson deliberately and intentionally began shooting at the vehicle, striking Landrum in the back.

Law enforcement responded to the shooting, and Landrum was taken to the hospital where he later died from the gunshot wound.

“Dillon Wilson made a fatal decision that took the life of another man,” said U.S. Attorney Clint Johnson. “Jamitric Landrum’s family and loved ones are forever altered by this decision. My condolences go out to Mr. Landrum’s loved ones”.

Wilson has a prior criminal conviction for conduct related to robbery with a firearm as well as eluding a police officer. He will remain in custody pending transfer to a U.S. Bureau of Prisons facility.
