Johnnethia Robinson, a 21-year-old African American woman, was killed in a drive-by shooting on December 2, 2018, near 3000 Tropic Blvd in Fort Pierce, Florida. Deputies responding to multiple 911 calls around 7:30 p.m. found her unresponsive in the road with multiple gunshot wounds; she was pronounced dead at the scene. A male victim was also wounded and taken to a local hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

Investigators determined Robinson was an unintended victim caught in crossfire during gang-related violence. A multiagency task force including the St. Lucie County Sheriff’s Office, Fort Pierce Police and the ATF was formed in response; those efforts resulted in the arrest of seventy individuals, including fifty-four gang members, and sixteen people charged federally. Despite the crackdown and a reported reduction in gunfire, the person who pulled the trigger in Robinson’s killing remains at large.

Anyone with information that could help identify the shooter is asked to contact the Sheriff’s Office.
