Robert Sundin was 70 when he was shot and killed on December 8, 2022, in Vallejo, California. A Marine Corps veteran, Sundin was at Scotty’s Restaurant about 5:30 a.m., as he often was on weekdays to watch friend and waitress Teresa Brasher open the business. As Brasher was about to enter, a man wearing a hoodie and ski mask approached her on an electric scooter and demanded her purse. Sundin intervened and struggled with the assailant; he was shot and died at the scene.

Vallejo police described the suspect as a young Black man in his early 30s who fled on the electric scooter. Sundin’s death was the city’s 24th homicide of 2022 and it hit the local community hard—regulars at the restaurant and members of the First Assembly of God church in Fairfield remembered him for volunteer work and kindness. Police asked anyone with information to come forward.

Did anyone who knew Robert or who was near Scotty’s Restaurant that morning see the scooter or the man who fled?
