He was secretary of the International Union of Painters and Allied Trades Local #4, based in San Francisco, when he was assassinated by a shotgun blast on April 5, 1966 near the San Francisco Labor Temple.[1] A month later, Lloyd Green, president of the nearby Hayward, California local and a colleague of Wilson's, was also assassinated.[2]
