That’s the picture that Montgomery County gang prosecutors are laying out as they begin to make their cases against the two 21-year-olds charged last week with the January 2010 murder. County police arrested David James Wilson, Jr. and Timothy Daryl Jackson on Friday after an anonymous source provided information over the past three weeks naming them as the gunmen in Roman’s death.
