Robert Fields was a 24-year-old Black man from Philadelphia whose life ended in murder on December 16, 2012, in Philadelphia.

His death occurred during a year of heavy violence in the city, and the absence of an arrest has left his family and friends without closure. The lack of public charges, trial, or conviction means there is no official, confirmed explanation for why his life was taken.

Robert’s death changed the lives of those who knew him, turning a personal history and future plans into a list of unanswered questions. Anyone who knew Robert, his movements around December 16, 2012, or who has information that could help investigators is asked to come forward.?
