February 12: Bobby Ray Wilson served 11 years after being convicted of killing a homeless man in 1993. In 1972 he was convicted with involuntary manslaughter for the stabbing of 13-year-old Ray Douglas Bunton, but was acquitted after awarded a new trial. He has been charged at least three times in connection with assaults on other homeless people.
While in jail he formed a nonprofit organization, Human Inc., dedicated to human rights, resources and education. He has been accredited with several other good works.
Unfortunately, following his release from jail, he returned to his old ways and was convicted of several incidents involving homeless victims.
Earlier this month three homeless men have described being threatened by Wilson but no charges have been brought. The homeless of Winston Salem have been warned to be on the lookout for Wilson.
