Jaleesa Robinson, a 24-year-old Black woman, was fatally shot in Frankfort, Kentucky on December 13, 2016. That evening she called 911 while driving to report she had been shot and pulled into the parking lot of a Circle K on Schenkel Lane. She was airlifted to the University of Kentucky Hospital and pronounced dead at about 8 p.m. from a gunshot wound to the chest.

Investigators determined the shooting had occurred earlier in the parking lot of an apartment complex on Ridgeview Drive, about half a mile from where Robinson was found. The next day, 40-year-old Toma Delano Washington turned himself in after a warrant for his arrest on a murder charge was issued. Washington and Robinson reportedly shared a young daughter.

In January 2018 Washington pleaded guilty to a reduced charge of first-degree manslaughter in Robinson’s death and to possession of a handgun by a convicted felon; he was sentenced to 19 years. Robinson’s mother approved the plea and prosecutors cited reluctant witnesses as a factor in the resolution.

If anyone knew Jaleesa, her movements that evening, or the relationship between her and Washington, please share what you know.
