Durand Robinson, 50, was found shot in the chest and pronounced dead on Hadlock Street in southwest Atlanta on August 25, 2010. Police responded about 1:30 a.m.; neighbors reported hearing a heated argument, a scream, a single gunshot, then a vehicle speeding away. Robinson was a co-owner of the nightclub Traxx and a key organizer of Atlanta’s Black Gay Pride celebration. Friends and family said he raised five nieces and had no known enemies, leaving them stunned by the killing.

Investigators at first considered a carjacking, after reports Robinson may have been accosted at Greenbrier Mall and driven to the scene, but his vehicle was recovered nearby and his personal items were not taken. Police later said they believed Robinson probably knew his assailant and that the shooting arose from a personal dispute. Authorities identified a person of interest and mentioned a cooperating witness who stopped communicating, but no arrest was announced and the case went cold despite a reward for information.

Does anyone in Atlanta from that summer of 2010 have information that could help bring clarity to what happened to Durand Robinson?
