Henry C Robinette Jr was 52 when he was murdered during his rounds as a Wells Fargo armored guard in Friendship Heights, Washington, D.C., on the morning of November 18, 1991. He had volunteered to cover a colleague’s route and had just finished picking up receipts from the Hamburger Hamlet on Wisconsin Avenue when two men ambushed him at about 11:04 a.m.

Witnesses described the assailants as two Black males, one in his late teens and the other in his early twenties. Robinette was shot in the neck and fatally wounded; a witness said he was on his knees and not resisting when shot. The attackers stole his service weapon plus cash and traveler’s checks, then fled in a small sedan.

No arrests have been made and the FBI and Metropolitan Police Department continue to seek information, offering a reward for tips. Does anyone have information about Robinette, the scene that morning, or the small sedan seen fleeing the area?
