The incident experienced by Timothy Wilks should be a lesson for YouTubers and content creators on social media. The reason is, the Youtuber from the United States died after making a prank about a robbery.
According to the Nashville Metro Police, the 20-year-old YouTuber and a friend were approaching a number of people outside the Urban Air playground. Wilks was carrying a knife and acting like he was going to rob the people.
The victim Wilks and his friend approached was a man named David Starnes Jr. They didn't know that Wilks was just doing a prank, he immediately shot the YouTuber with the intention of defending himself.
Wilks was immediately killed on the spot at that moment. The case is currently being investigated by the police in the Homicide Cases Unit. In fact, there will also be an investigation into Starnes' self-defense.
However, the police have not yet named a suspect in the case. This is not the first incident in the United States where social media users have carried out prank robberies. Last year, YouTuber twins Alan and Alex Stokes were also charged with pretending to be bank robbers.
Each of them was charged with the crime of confinement due to violence, threats, fraud and one other charge, namely false reporting of the state of emergency. However, the two YouTubers defended by pleading not guilty to the charges.
