Robert Lockhart was 27 when he was shot dead in southwest Fresno on June 5, 2020. The killings took place in the early morning at an Arco gas station on Olive Avenue near Parkway Drive. Lockhart and another 27-year-old man, John Ellis, were found in a car with multiple gunshot wounds and pronounced dead at the scene. A 48-year-old woman seated with them was wounded once in the back and survived.

Surveillance footage released by police shows a man in dark clothing with a face covering running toward the vehicle and firing multiple shots before fleeing. Investigators have reviewed the video and pursued leads, but as of the latest update no arrests have been announced. Witnesses who left before officers arrived have complicated the probe. Anyone who knew the victims or has information about the shooting is asked to contact the Fresno Police Department or Crime Stoppers.
