Reginald Robinson was 44 and lived in Birmingham, Alabama when he was fatally stabbed outside his home at 625 4th Court North on September 24, 2012. Police found him suffering from stab wounds about 9:00 p.m.; Birmingham Fire and Rescue took him to UAB Hospital, where he later died. Local homicide listings place his killing among the city’s September 2012 slayings and his obituary confirms his death date and Birmingham residence.

According to a Crime Stoppers appeal issued shortly after the slaying, Robinson’s girlfriend said the two were at home when someone came to the door, called Robinson by name, and spoke with him after he opened the door. She reported hearing a struggle outside and then saw the attacker on top of Robinson, stabbing him. That account suggests a face-to-face encounter rather than a random assault and prompted detectives to ask the public for the identity of the caller.

News reports and a homicide reference page list Robinson’s death by stab wounds at the 4th Court North address and note no arrest; no suspect name, prosecution, or conviction has been publicly reported in connection with this killing. Did anyone in the neighborhood remember a visitor being called to Robinson’s door that night or have other information that could help resolve this case?
