Thank you for the information
Years ago I read an article in the newspaper about him so I researched his time of death. He was a freelance photographer, often covering the Redskins games. Unfortunately, 'on December 23, 1980 he was found dead in his car on 10th Street NW, a bullet in his head'. This was from an article in the Washington Post 1980 entitled ' Killing Ourselves'.
An interesting piece in the Washington Post that included - Dec. 23. PENDLETON L. WILSON, 28, photographer, found dead in his car on 10th Street NW, a bullet in his head. Link to article

I knew Penn since I moved to VA in 1961 until his death in 1980. His sister Nicole (Kiki) Wilson Gasper has been my best friend for 50 years. Penn was a wonderful person that always lived a bit on the edge. He left us way to soon.
