How they died
Deadly force
Wilcox and a 15-year-old male traveled together from New York City to Corpus Christi. Officers found the 15-year-old under the Harbor Bridge, a hotspot for the homeless of Corpus Christi. Wilcox drove a Ford Taurus with an Oklahoma license plate to the Padre Motel, where SWAT officers confronted Wilcox outside of a room he had just rented. He drew a .45-caliber pistol. Officers shot him. As he fell, officers said that Wilcox shot himself in the face. The owner of the Taurus, Luther Butler of Oklahoma, was found dead in the trunk of the other. Officers pursued leads that connected Wilcox to three other killings and robberies between New York and Texas.
