Christopher Collins, 29, was killed in Columbus, Georgia, in the early hours of March 31, 2024, after shots were fired in the 2800 block of Tenth Street following an Easter Sunday block party between Samson and Benner avenues. Officers arriving at 1:01 a.m. found Collins lying in the roadway with fatal gunshot wounds; testimony later said he was struck about 11 times and that the weapon used was a 9-millimeter Glock.

Two other people were wounded that night and one, 17-year-old Jania Mobley, also died, but police later said Collins and Mobley were victims of separate shootings that occurred close together in the same area. Investigators described a chain of evidence linking a suspect to Collins’ killing: an eyewitness identification, phone records placing the suspect at the scene, ballistic matches, and surveillance video from 48 hours earlier showing the same gun in the suspect’s hands.

Authorities identified the suspect as Zayvion Robinson and by late June 2024 said he faced a murder charge and a firearms charge in Collins’ death; Robinson pleaded not guilty and was ordered held without bond. The probe also connected Robinson to a March 28 shooting and car theft that injured a 59-year-old man. Does anyone have information about Collins, the block party that night, or the movements around Tenth Street on March 31?
