Crash Victim Stabbed – The Story behind Tuesday’s Rollover Wreck – $500,000 Bond Set
August 2nd, 2023 by Joe Burgess
Around midnight, Monday night, a stabbing occurred on Highway 425 south at an apartment complex located outside the Monticello city limits.
Two victims left the scene in a Jeep Grand Cherokee attempting to get to Drew Memorial Hospital. Their vehicle overturned, on old Warren Road, before reaching the hospital.
The suspect fled the scene in a dark Ford F150 pick up.
The suspect, Shannon Wilkerson, was taken into custody by Drew County deputies, on Highway 278, west of Wilmar.
Responding agencies included Monticello Firefighters, who extricated the two trapped occupants of the vehicle, MPD, DCSO, ASP, OEM, SEEMS, and MASI.
Helicopter medical transport was requested for both of the crash victims, but was unavailable, so they were transported by ambulance to Drew Memorial Hospital.
Shannon Wilkerson had a first appearance and bond hearing on Tuesday, where his bond was set at $500,000.
