Robin Nichol Fitzgerald, a 41-year-old mother of three, was killed on June 21, 2017, in Washington, D.C. She had lived in the same apartment building on 51st Street, Northeast, her whole life and had just returned from a Bible study at the House of Praise church across the street. After the study she was visiting a friend’s apartment when she was struck by bullets that penetrated the shared wall; she was lying on a bed and was hit in the torso and buttock. Medics pronounced her dead at the scene within the hour.

Surveillance footage shows Aaron Jacobs returning to his brother’s apartment on June 20, 2017, with a handgun. While under the influence of PCP, Jacobs fired two shots from a .357 magnum revolver into a wall inside that apartment; the rounds crossed into the adjacent unit and killed Fitzgerald. It is unclear whether Jacobs knew anyone was in the neighboring apartment when he fired. Jacobs later turned himself in and pleaded guilty to voluntary manslaughter while armed; he was sentenced to eight and a half years in prison.

Did anyone in the neighborhood know Robin or recall hearing an argument or gunfire around June 20–21, 2017?
