Altaron Amir Robinson, 30, was shot the night of September 26, 2024, in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, and later died of his injuries. Police say the shooting happened around 9:27–9:29 p.m. in the 1900 block of Butztown Road, near Governor Wolf Elementary School. Emergency crews responded after a 911 call reporting a man had been shot and the suspect had fled on foot; Robinson was taken to St. Luke’s University Hospital and pronounced dead the afternoon of September 27, 2024. The Lehigh County coroner ruled the death a homicide and later reports said the fatal wound was to the head.

Investigators say the encounter began as a meeting arranged over social media and FaceTime about the planned sale of about $320 worth of marijuana. Police allege 17-year-old Gianni Santini entered Robinson’s vehicle, produced a handgun, robbed him of the drugs, then ran; Robinson reportedly chased and tackled Santini, and two shots were heard during a struggle. Officers recovered two spent 9mm shell casings and a live round. Santini was arrested, charged as an adult, and prosecutors upgraded charges to include criminal homicide along with robbery and weapons counts; the case had been moved to the Northampton County Court of Common Pleas.
