Surveillance camera shows a view to a kill

By Maureen Boyle, Enterprise staff writer BROCKTON — As Derrick A. Wilson lay dying in a Dover Street hallway, his accused killer stepped over the 25-year-old man's body and left the building.

A few minutes later, the suspect returned with a woman, and both jabbed Wilson's body with their feet before leaving again.

These events, captured by surveillance cameras, are detailed in paperwork asking murder charges be filed against Kenneth Faulk, 19, of 4 Walker St., Apt. 2, Weymouth, in the slaying.

Faulk was arraigned Wednesday on charges of murder and unlawful carrying of a firearm in connection with Wilson's slaying. Faulk, who offered an innocent plea to the charges, was ordered held without bail, and the case continued until May 30.

Faulk is accused of shooting Wilson to death in the hallway of a renovated factory building at 33 Dover St. Monday night.

Faulk was arrested Tuesday by state police and Brockton Detective Dominic Persampieri at 96 Hillberg Ave.

The paperwork filed by state Trooper Keith A. Sweeney provides a glimpse into the killing and how quickly it occurred.

Surveillance cameras showed Wilson and Faulk enter the building at 10:43 p.m. Monday and walk up a flight of stairs. Two minutes later, Wilson is seen stumbling along the right side of the staircase and comes to rest on his back on the first floor, according to papers filed in court.

“Mr. Faulk is seen walking down the stairs and steps over Mr. Wilson and exits the building,” according to court papers.

Two minutes after that, Faulk returns with woman.

“Mr. Faulk and the female subject enter the first-floor hallway and observe the motionless Mr. Wilson lying on the first-floor hallway floor. At one point, Mr. Faulk and the female party use their feet to jab at Mr. Wilson. Mr. Faulk and the female party then exit the building,” according to court paperwork. Faulk, after his arrest, admitted to Brockton Detective Ernest Bell and Michael Schaff that he saw the victim lying on the floor and again when he returned to the building, according to the paperwork.

Why Wilson was killed was not disclosed. The suspect's cousin rents studio space in the Dover Street building.

Witnesses earlier said they heard yelling in the second-floor hallway area less than an hour before the shooting.
