Fazon G. Fazo Robinson was an 18-year-old African American male who was shot and killed on April 12, 2010, in the South Chicago neighborhood of Chicago. Officers answered a call about a person shot at about 9:35 p.m. in the 2900 block of East 79th Street. Robinson suffered a gunshot wound to his back, was taken to South Shore Hospital, and was pronounced dead at 9:50 p.m.; the Cook County medical examiner’s office confirmed his death.

Investigators determined the shooting was gang-related. Calumet Area detectives handled the case but no arrests were made immediately after the killing. Community members noted a lack of surveillance cameras in the area and raised concerns about rising gang violence. A year later, on April 12, 2011, a memorial at the same location turned violent when occupants of a passing black car opened fire, wounding five people, including a 10-year-old boy.

No significant developments in arrests or prosecutions have been reported. If anyone knew Robinson, witnessed the April 12, 2010 shooting, or has information about the individuals in the black car at the 2011 memorial, please come forward.
