Eric Robinson was a 35-year-old tow truck driver from Philadelphia who was shot and killed on January 12, 2017. He was found in the 4500 block of Melrose Street with multiple gunshot wounds to the head and torso and was pronounced dead at the scene.

Investigators say Robinson was one of three tow truck drivers targeted in a series of execution-style shootings over a 24-hour period. Another driver, 28-year-old Khayyan Fruster, was killed the following day; a third co-worker survived despite multiple gunshot wounds. Surveillance footage captured the shootings, and authorities described the incidents as well planned and deliberate.

In October 2020, 40-year-old Ernest Pressley was arrested and charged in connection with the murders of Robinson and Fruster, along with conspiracy and weapons offenses; he was believed to have lain in wait for the victims. The targeted nature of these attacks drew intense community and law enforcement attention.

Did anyone who knew Eric, his routes, or the tow truck workplace notice anything unusual before January 12, 2017?
