Robert Bailey was 24 when he was fatally shot outside the Citgo gas station in the 600 block of Concord Avenue in Wilmington on the evening of January 14, 2015. At about 6:20 p.m. gunfire erupted; Bailey was found with multiple wounds to his upper and lower body and was taken to Christiana Hospital in critical condition, where he later died.

Initial reports did not describe any argument, robbery, or other confrontation before the shooting, and police had not publicly identified a motive or a suspect. Online memorials identify him by the nickname Rob, note that he had three children, worked as a cook at Ruby Tuesday’s, and attended Christiana High School — small details about the life behind the loss.

No contemporaneous reporting documents a suspect, arrest, charge, or conviction tied to the killing; investigators appealed for witnesses and information. If anyone knew Robert, saw the shooting, or has information that could help, please come forward.
