Robin Michelle-Fikes Pearl II, an 18-year-old from Cincinnati, was shot and killed on June 15, 2015, while sitting in a parked SUV in the Avondale neighborhood. She was with two other passengers who were not injured. The driver moved the vehicle to the corner of Dana and Dakota avenues, where police found Robin dead.

Authorities arrested 26-year-old Joshua Maxton on suspicion of the shooting and charged him with murder; bond was set at $1 million. Investigators reported Maxton allegedly fired the shot in the 900 block of Burton Avenue just before 8 p.m., though they said it was unclear whether Robin was specifically targeted. Maxton’s defense later presented DNA from a soda can at the scene that excluded him and matched another man witnesses described as the shooter, and Maxton was acquitted more than a year later. No other charges have been filed and the investigation remains ongoing.

Robin was remembered as a talented athlete who loved singing and dancing. Does anyone have information about the shooting or the person witnesses described as the shooter?
