Dishion Robinson, a 19-year-old Black man, was fatally shot on a street in St. Louis, Missouri, on October 1, 2002. The shooting occurred in a neighborhood described as struggling with crime and prompted an immediate investigation by the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department.

Investigators faced difficulty early on because witnesses were not always forthcoming, but police persisted and identified several individuals of interest. The case ultimately focused on a key suspect who was taken into custody and charged with Robinson’s murder. At trial, prosecutors presented evidence and witness testimony about the circumstances of the shooting, and the defendant was found guilty and given a lengthy prison sentence.

Anyone who knew Dishion, his movements that day, or who has additional information about the case is encouraged to come forward.
