James Robinson was 25 when he was shot and killed at a MetroBus transfer station in the Baden neighborhood of St. Louis on the evening of Sunday, August 27, 2017. A suspect walked directly up to Robinson and opened fire, a detail that has been reported as suggesting the attack may have been targeted rather than random. The shooting occurred in public, abruptly ending a young life and alarming residents of the area.

The St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department opened a homicide investigation. At the time of reporting, no motive or suspect information had been publicly released and information about any arrest or identification of a suspect remained unclear. This killing was one of several fatal shootings in the city around that time, part of a broader wave of violence that affected the community.

If anyone saw what happened at the transfer station that evening or has information about James Robinson’s death, please come forward to assist the investigation.
