On the morning of September 25, 2025, Razeil Robinson, 27, was shot multiple times and killed while seated at a picnic table outside SMB International on the 1000 block of Rosemary Boulevard in Akron. Officers arriving about 7 a.m. found him with fatal wounds; he was pronounced dead at the scene. Investigators documented multiple gunshot wounds, canvassed for surveillance video and reviewed calls that began just after midnight when gunfire was heard in the area.

Family and memorial notices described Robinson as quiet and soft-spoken, someone who often sat near the business to buy groceries or share a cigarette and conversation with workers. Police said early indications did not point to a targeted attack, there was no immediate sign of a dispute at the site, and no arrests or suspect identifications had been announced as detectives asked the public for tips.

Anyone who knew Robinson, saw activity near SMB International on Rosemary Boulevard that night, or has surveillance footage is asked to contact the Akron Police detective bureau or Crime Stoppers.
