Willie Rollins, a 32-year-old from Oshkosh, Wisconsin, confessed to fatally shooting his longtime boyfriend on January 5, 2026, during a dispute over paying their internet bill. He walked into the Oshkosh Police Department lobby, surrendered his handgun, and calmly stated the victim was dead in their basement.​
Altercation Sequence
The couple, in an on-and-off 10-year relationship, argued after the Wi-Fi failed; Rollins insisted on paying the internet bill for housing security, but the victim interfered while Rollins plugged in the router downstairs. A physical fight ensued—Rollins elbowed, pushed, beat the victim with a chair, and punched him—before Rollins fired twice from his holstered gun, missing once and hitting the victim’s head fatally. Rollins admitted recent methamphetamine use, prior death threats to the victim, paranoia about trafficking/abuse, and that the shooting was unnecessary.​
Victim and Aftermath
Officers found the unidentified victim twitching from a head wound; he died at a hospital. The victim’s mother described Rollins as unemployed, supported financially, and verbally/physically threatening. Rollins faces first-degree intentional homicide and meth possession charges, held on $750,000 bond, with a preliminary hearing on January 22.​
