On September 14, 2019, 35-year-old Robin Otto Worth Jr. was fatally shot during an attempted robbery at a residence on Foster Road in Woodleaf, North Carolina. Worth, a Salisbury resident, was found dead in the front yard wearing latex gloves and a black shirt pulled over his face.

Investigators say Worth was part of a three-person group that tried to rob occupants Daquon and Ronald Martin. A shootout broke out; both Martins were struck by gunfire and one of them returned fire, killing Worth. Two alleged accomplices — 40-year-old Dundrielle Lafrank Blakeney and 24-year-old Dandre Treshaun Mitchell — were arrested and charged on firearm- and robbery-related counts and held in Rowan County jail.

The Rowan County District Attorney reviewed the matter and concluded the fatal shooting of Worth was an act of self-defense, so no murder charges were filed. Did anyone in the area see activity on Foster Road that night or know these men’s movements before the incident?
