\"YouTuber
Timothy Wilks was shot and killed after trying to film a fake robbery. (Photo: Shirley Berry)<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Play stupid games\u2026 well, you know the rest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A would-be YouTube star was shot and killed in Nashville on Friday after he approached a man carrying a concealed handgun in what police have described as a \u201crobbery prank\u201d gone wrong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Carrying butcher knives, Timothy Wilks, 20, and a friend approached a group of people in a parking lot of an Urban Air Trampoline and Adventure Park around 9:20 p.m. One of the men in the group, 23-year-old David Starnes, Jr., believed he and his friends were in danger, so he took out his concealed handgun and shot Wilks, killing him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Starnes stayed on the scene and told police he was not aware of the prank. Police said in a statement<\/a> that no charges have been filed, but they are investigating Starnes\u2019 claims of self-defense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wilks\u2019 relatives are not blaming Starnes. Instead, they\u2019re trying to prevent other young people from taking similar risks to get famous.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shirley Berry, Wilks\u2019 grandmother, told the Tennessean<\/a> that she\u2019s trying to raise awareness of the consequences of social media and raise money for \u201cpositive programs\u201d for children as a \u201ctribute to him.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Children like Wilks, she said, are drawn to the “limelight” and see social media and internet fame as a “way out.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“The thing I would want them to know is, if you’re trying to make a statement for yourself, do it in a positive way,” she said. “Do something positive. That’s what I would have told him if he would have come to me with this thought.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“If you’re thinking about doing something, think again, because it’s not worth your life or anybody else’s,” Berry said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She also wants people to know that Wilks was a \u201cgood child.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I’m not angry, but I just don’t want anyone thinking that this person that is lying in the morgue was a ‘thug,'” Berry said. “He was not. He was a good child. He would do anything for anyone.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Neither Wilks nor Starnes have criminal records, according to the Tennessean.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Videos depicting fake robberies and other criminal acts are a genre to themselves on YouTube. The most popular channel features twin brothers Alan and Alex Stokes, who film themselves performing various \u201cpranks\u201d in public and recording peoples\u2019 responses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this video, for example, viewed over 4.5 million times, the twins steal ear buds from strangers in public.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In September, the Stokes found themselves in hot water<\/a> after they were charged with felony false imprisonment and misdemeanor falsely reporting an emergency following a prank bank robbery that drew police response.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
