Jordasch W. Robinson, a 37-year-old African American male, was shot and killed on January 18, 2018, in a double homicide in Chicago’s West Woodlawn neighborhood. The shooting occurred about 2:50 a.m. while Jordasch and his cousin, Ronald E. Robinson, were sitting in a vehicle in the 6600 block of South Evans Avenue. Both men were taken to Stroger Hospital; Jordasch was pronounced dead at 3:41 a.m. and Ronald at 3:45 a.m.

Prosecutors charged 31-year-old Stanley Williams with first-degree murder in connection with the killings. Authorities said surveillance footage and cellphone records placed Williams at the scene and showed him driving a silver Chevrolet Malibu that was used during the shooting, and that the motive was tied to an earlier altercation between Williams’ cousin and Jordasch Robinson. Williams was arrested and held without bail after a judge issued a first-degree murder arrest warrant.

The slayings ended a weeklong lull in gun-related deaths in the city and illustrate the toll of gun violence on families and neighborhoods. If anyone knew Jordasch, Ronald, or has information about the shooting, please come forward.
