By Chico Harlan- What little is known about Wilson comes mostly from public records uncovered in the aftermath of the shooting. He comes from a fractured family, his mother marrying three times and killed herself at 35 after being convicted of financial crimes. Wilson who never took any college courses divorced last year. He began his police career in another St. Louis neighborhood, Jennings, whose department was disbanded over racial relations problems and a corruption scandal. Wilson then latched on at Ferguson Police Department where the rest is history.
