Donald Lamar Robinson, a 30-year-old Black man, was shot and killed in the early morning of May 1, 2010, outside a Coney Island restaurant on Livernois Avenue in Detroit. The shooting occurred at about 3:30 a.m. as Robinson was exiting a friend’s vehicle and was confronted by an unknown Black male armed with a handgun who ordered him to get on the ground and empty his pockets. Robinson ran and was struck multiple times; he was taken to a nearby hospital and later pronounced dead.

Detroit police opened a homicide investigation and described the suspect only as a Black male. Despite public appeals and a Crime Stoppers reward for information, the assailant was never identified and no arrest has been announced. Little else about the suspect or any witness accounts is provided.

If anyone was in the area of Livernois Avenue near that Coney Island restaurant on the night of May 1, 2010, or has information about the shooting, please come forward.
