Andre Lamont Wilson

Andre Lamont Wilson, aged 46, was a member of the San Diego community whose life touched people in Logan Heights and the surrounding neighborhoods. Public records and local reporting identify him by name and age and associate him with the 33rd Street area of southeastern San Diego, a neighborhood where everyday connections among neighbors and friends matter deeply.

Contemporary police and news releases note that Wilson was found after a shooting in the Logan Heights area in early January 2013. Publicly available law-enforcement material from the San Diego Police Department (a homicide-unit release dated January 7, 2015) and contemporary news coverage record the event and confirm his identity and age. These sources identify the location (the 100 block of South 33rd Street) and the approximate time of the incident, and they show that friends, neighbors, and investigators sought answers after his death. Because available public notices and news accounts list the discovery date as January 3, 2013, but the supplied database lists January 2, 2013, I could not independently confirm a single, matching calendar date for the death; therefore an exact verified death date is not included here.

Beyond the basic public record, there is little widely published personal detail about Andre’s work, family relationships, or private life in accessible obituary databases. That absence in the public record does not reduce the reality of his life — it simply means the published record focuses on the loss rather than a fuller life story. What can be said with confidence is that Andre was a real person known to his neighborhood and that his death prompted concern and outreach from the San Diego Police Department and local news outlets seeking information. He is listed in memorial compilations that remember people lost to gun violence, and local Crime Stoppers materials and police releases illustrate the community’s hopes for answers.

This remembrance is meant to honor Andre as a person first: someone who lived in San Diego, who had relationships and daily routines rooted in his neighborhood, and whose life mattered to others. Where the public record is limited, it is important to acknowledge that silence about private details is not an absence of worth. Families and friends who knew him best hold the fuller stories — the work, laughter, habits, and small acts that made Andre who he was. He is remembered here with respect and with the hope that any who have memories to share will be able to do so in a way that honors his life beyond the circumstances of his death.
