Jonathan Dwayne Sloan Robinson, a 33-year-old African American man, was shot and died on January 25, 2021, at an apartment complex in southeast Charlotte, North Carolina. Police responded to a reported shooting at about 10:30 a.m.; officers found evidence of a shooting at the scene but no injured persons there. Two people then arrived at a nearby hospital with gunshot wounds, and Jonathan Robinson was pronounced dead by hospital staff.

The other wounded person, 39-year-old Jamell Robinson, sustained non-life-threatening injuries and was interviewed by Homicide Unit detectives after release from the hospital. He was later charged with felony breaking and entering and shooting into an occupied dwelling. The Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department and the Mecklenburg County District Attorney’s Office classified Jonathan Robinson’s death as a justified homicide and agreed with detectives’ decision not to bring additional charges in connection with the incident.

A public viewing for Jonathan Robinson was held on February 1, 2021, at Boston’s-Roseboro’s Mortuary in Charlotte, with a service on February 2 at Victory Christian Center and interment at Beatties Ford Memorial Gardens. Does anyone have information about the events at the apartment complex that morning or knew Jonathan Robinson and can help clarify what happened?
