On May 23, 2015, Darrell Lee Robinson, 59, was fatally shot at an apartment in the 900 block of 54th Street in North Oakland. The shooting occurred about 2:45 p.m. and also killed two other men, Benjamin Franklin Williams and Raymond E. Garza.

Darrell’s son, Damien Robinson, 31 at the time, was living with his father and told the court he acted in self-defense, saying he believed his father and the others were trying to rob him. Prosecutors said the three men were unarmed and that the killings were unjustified.

This case centers on a family conflict complicated by reported substance abuse and deadly violence in a shared home. Anyone who knew Darrell, the apartment on 54th Street, or who has information about the events of May 23, 2015, is asked to come forward.
