Vincent Robison, 20, was shot and killed in Southeast Washington, DC, on February 15, 2022. The shooting occurred about 8:28 p.m. in the 3800 block of 9th Street, Southeast. Officers from the Seventh District found Robison with apparent gunshot wounds; emergency medical personnel pronounced him dead at the scene.

Police records show Robison suffered four gunshot wounds: two to the back, one to the abdomen, and one to the head. The Metropolitan Police Department Homicide Branch investigated the killing for months. On November 22, 2022, 21-year-old Devin Washington of Southeast, DC, was arrested on a DC Superior Court warrant and charged with First Degree Murder While Armed in connection with Robison’s death.

At trial Washington testified that he and Robison had been best friends since age 12 and that, while walking to Washington’s car, a gunshot rang out and he saw Robison fall; Washington named another person as the shooter. Prosecutors pointed to Washington’s post-shooting Instagram messages to Robison and noted Washington was on release for a prior assault conviction at the time of the killing. Does anyone have information about Robison’s final movements that evening or about witnesses in the 3800 block of 9th Street?
