Richard Robinette was 35 when he was killed in a drive-by shooting in Chicago on December 18, 2021. The shooting happened around 3 a.m. while he was stopped at a red light in the 4700 block of West Irving Park Road. An occupant of a black SUV pulled alongside and opened fire, striking Robinette multiple times in the chest and right side. He drove about a block before crashing into a parked car and was taken to Illinois Masonic Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead.

Investigators later identified 18-year-old Hader Garcia as the primary suspect. Surveillance footage and witness statements were used to track Garcia’s movements, and photos and videos on his phone showed him holding the murder weapon and wearing a distinctive black-and-white camouflage sweatshirt. Garcia reportedly took a selfie with the 9 mm handgun used in the shooting; the weapon had an olive green extended magazine and a Supreme sticker. Shell casings at the scene matched that gun, and the same type of casings were found inside a stolen vehicle Garcia was driving.

Garcia was arrested on January 7, 2022, while driving another stolen car; officers found three guns during the arrest, including the one linked to Robinette’s killing. He was charged with first-degree murder and possession of a stolen motor vehicle and held without bond. Does anyone have information about Richard Robinette, his movements that night, or details that could help clarify what happened?
