Kelly, Angella’s best friend, and maid of honor at the couple’s Friday wedding in Morant Bay, St. Thomas, was scheduled to be picked up by her Canadian fiancé Robert Wilson and his Jamaican fiance on Monday.
In addition to anticipating exchanging vows with Wilson, the love of her life, Angella’s thoughts turned to Sunday, the day after their wedding, when they would go on a blissful honeymoon vacation that also happened to fall on her 46th birthday. Sadly, Wilson’s funeral is being planned by Angella, who is overcome with sadness as a result of Wilson’s March 20 shooting death.
“Being in Jamaica is difficult, but I also feel so much closer to him here. “It just doesn’t make sense to me that he would be buried wearing his wedding attire,” sobbed Angella. Wilson was shot by unidentified gunmen along Kingston’s Retirement Road, according to police accounts. After being taken to the hospital, he was declared dead. Wilson is a security officer that Angella claimed she connected with on TikTok in 2022. Eventually, their friendship developed into a romantic relationship.
“I didn’t see the direct message (DM) he sent me on Instagram for almost a month. We just continued conversing when I answered, and that’s how our love began,” Angella remarked. He remained the same person that I had fallen in love with online, which is what I loved about him. About five months later, I finally met him in person, and he was exactly the same—talking and treating me with respect.” Wilson proposed to Angella on a beach in Ocho Rios during their trip to Jamaica.
“He was talking to security guards, and I thought we were in trouble but the whole time he was planning the proposal,” Angella remembered. “He told me to close my eyes when he returned to me, and when I did, he got down on one knee and declared his love for me and his desire to spend the rest of his life with me. I accepted his proposal of marriage when he made it.”
“I broke down in tears, knowing he was the one for me. He was a very mature man, and I was in love with him. He didn’t seem to be the kind to want anything from me. He was a provider as well as a very hard worker. He was so mature that I referred to him as an old soul,” Angella remarked. “We intended to launch a business and purchase a home. He was going to work and we would save money to simply start over in Canada, which is why I wanted to bring him here. Since both of us had grown children and I had a few grandchildren, we had no intention of having any more. We just intended to have fun and live as a blended family.”
Angella claimed that when her fiancé did not answer any of her messages the morning he was killed, she suspected something was wrong. When she noticed a call from one of his sisters, her heart skipped a beat, but nothing could have prepared her for the news.
“I just started crying and screamed that this could not be happening when she informed me he had been shot. I had no idea he had passed away at the time. He had just left his job at a place in Kingston where he was stationed when he was killed, according to her.
Wilson and Angella met on TikTok, a platform that provides some solace for Angella throughout her grief. She goes on to recount incidents from their love affair, occasionally sobbing.
“I’m hurt, unhappy, furious, and devastated. I have a broken heart scattered all over the floor, and I have no idea where to begin. There are moments when I still feel like I should be here with him, and other times my brain feels like mush,” Angella continued.
