A Homewood man who was found not guilty in a homicide trial this month now is a fugitive in an unrelated case involving a gun, according to court records.

A warrant has been issued for the arrest of Donald "Tank" Wilson, 20.

He was arrested Oct. 23 in Homewood after a woman complained that he threatened her with a gun.

However, Mr. Wilson escaped from custody.

He now faces charges that include carrying a firearm without a permit and possessing a firearm that has identification marks removed.

Mr. Wilson was acquitted this month of the killing April 18, 2008, of 12-year-old Kholen Germany.

Mr. Wilson was charged with homicide because, prosecutors had claimed, he fired shots at another man whose return fire struck the boy.
