"It was like the most unbelievable news that I could have ever got. It was horrifying, it was tragic. I couldn’t talk, I couldn’t do anything."
Wilson, who lives in Minnesota, got word from his family that Barnes was shot and died from his injuries.
"I’m the big brother. He’s supposed to be on here talking about me dying and preparing himself to go to my funeral— not me going to his," Wilson told TMJ4.
He said he works closely with families of gun violence and homicide victims, but hearing the tragedy has now touched his own life was unbelievable.
"Nothing could have prepared me for anything like this."
For Wilson, it brings some comfort that police are moving forward in the investigation.
"It just hurts for somebody with this much potential and this big of a heart, to lose him so tragically like this."
