Lakisha Roby was 27 when she was fatally shot in the back on March 14, 2018, at about 1:30 a.m. at a BP gas station at 167th Street and Pulaski Road in Markham, Illinois. She was taken to Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn and pronounced dead; the Cook County Medical Examiner’s Office ruled the death a homicide.

Authorities identified her estranged husband, Lynn Washington, 46, as the primary suspect. Witnesses and surveillance footage reportedly show Washington approaching Roby at a bar in Oak Forest earlier that night, grabbing her by the neck, then following her to the gas station where he allegedly fired a handgun, striking Roby and a witness. Roby called 911 after the shooting and identified Washington as the shooter.

Washington allegedly abducted the couple’s two children, ages 2 and 3, triggering an Amber Alert; the children were later found safe at a relative’s home in Harvey, Illinois. Washington was taken into custody the next day and charged with first-degree murder and parental abduction; he was held without bond. Washington had a prior history of violence and was subject to an order of protection prohibiting contact with Roby and the children.

Did anyone in the area see Lakisha that night or have information about the bar altercation earlier in the evening?
