At Street Level 403

 
 
Memo to Mr. Bernard Carter -Lake County Prosecutor. When Luis Arcuri comes out in the paper about him going to college for a year & a half. He was selling vitamin C. This source had never spoken to me before but would read my blog. Then this cat sends me a text and drops a bomb on me about Luis Wilson who was found hanging in E.C. Poe-Poe Station in1996. Street took mental notes as I was reading this text. "This cat had 8 kids and a good job. Don't think he would have hung himself. “This blew my mind because Street had met this guy Luis Wilson's sister years ago who told me the same thing. “My brother had 8 kids and a good job, so I don't think he would hang himself,” Rosie told me. Street took mental notes. “When you gonna investigate my brother's case, Street Wise?” Rosie told me and continued to ask me that every time she saw me around town. Never stuttered and always had bass in her voice when she told me.
 
 
 
This is my smoking gun. Filed public records request for Luis Wilson's police report in 1966. I got the police report 96-6049 Luis Wilson that only mentions a narrative on what happened out in the field where they encountered an intoxicated Luis Wilson sleeping at the wheel of his truck with the motor running, etc. Street wanted the part that spoke about what happened inside the lockup where he was found hung to death. The crack in the case comes when 96-6049 had "In Case File 96-6053” inserted in black marker at the top of the page. Filed another public records request.” “We don't have any hanging in our files," Email from Chief Rivera said. Thank you, sir.
