Joshua Wilkerson’s uncle tells KHOU that the murdered 18-year-old from Pearland wasn’t gay. (The story doesn’t start until about halfway through the above video.)
Hermilo Vildo Moralez, 19, who is accused of beating Wilkerson to death with a wooden rod before burning his body, told authorities that Wilkerson made sexual advances toward him.
“Everything you hear, don’t judge a book by its cover,” said Wilkerson’s Uncle John Crochet. “This guy is not human, so don’t believe what he’s saying. …
“There had been some accusations by this animal that some sexual advances were made. We have no reason to believe that would have ever happened. The bottom line is whatever happened, he didn’t deserve to die,” said Crochet.
KHOU also reports that police believe Moralez may not have acted alone. Someone apparently set up a bogus Facebook page for Wilkerson while Moralez was already in custody saying Wilkerson was gay, hated negroes and was a fan of Justin Bieber.
