Douglas Doug Robinson, 61, was killed in a mass shooting in Over-the-Rhine, Cincinnati, shortly after midnight on May 4, 2021. Multiple groups exchanged gunfire—about 40 rounds were fired—and Robinson, likely crossing Walnut Street, was struck and collapsed near Walnut and 13th streets. He was described as a very gentle man who had struggled with chronic homelessness but recently found housing and was well known in the neighborhood.

Court filings say the shootout began after an earlier argument that night between one of the teens and an unnamed adult. Three young people plotted an ambush of the group they believed responsible; Donta Cody, who was dating one teen’s aunt, joined them. Cody later pleaded guilty to involuntary manslaughter and a firearms charge; two teenagers, Demarion Beauchamp (16 at the time) and Dimareon McCray (17), were charged as adults and pleaded guilty to involuntary manslaughter.

Robinson was an innocent bystander with no connection to the dispute. Does anyone who knew Doug or who was in Over-the-Rhine that night have information about his final movements or what they saw?
