AMELIA, Ohio (WXIX) - A man has pleaded guilty to charges for gunning down a Clermont County tattoo parlor owner in broad daylight near a busy intersection.

Michael Guilfoyle Jr. pleaded guilty to aggravated murder and aggravated burglary, according to Clermont County court records.

Guilfoyle Jr. told police in 2023 he shot 42-year-old Brian Wilson, of Batavia Township, 17 times because “he owed him money,” and “it was someone he thought was a friend,” investigators wrote in an affidavit filed in Clermont County Municipal Court.

The shooting erupted around 11:30 a.m. in January 2023 at Stay Gold Tattoo shop off Ohio 125 at Ohio 132.

Wilson was found unresponsive in the street when first responders arrived just a few minutes after they were dispatched.

Deputies and detectives with the sheriff’s office and other law enforcement from surrounding agencies all swarmed the area within just a few minutes.

The first officer on the scene was from Pierce Township. He heard gunshots, a pause and then two more shots, the court affidavit states.

The officer saw a man who turned out to be Guilfoyle Jr. with a handgun at the edge of Ohio 125 and the victim lying in the road.

He ordered the gunman to get on the ground, the court record shows.

Once additional officers arrived, they took Guilfoyle Jr. into custody.

He is scheduled to be sentenced on July 8 at 1:15 p.m.
