On the evening of Sunday, March 15, 2015, 17-year-old Robert Robinson was shot and killed at the intersection of 15th Avenue South and South Forest Street in the Beacon Hill neighborhood of Seattle. He was struck in the chest after a car drove by and fired shots; the King County Medical Examiner’s Office ruled his death a homicide.

Robert was a senior at Cleveland High School, described as friendly and outgoing, and active as a poet and musician. The school brought in grief counselors and planned to award him an honorary diploma. Friends, family, and neighbors left a memorial of flowers, balloons, and candles at the shooting site, and held a candlelight vigil and open mic to remember him.

Detectives from Seattle’s homicide and gang unit say the suspect vehicle was last seen as a blue or green Honda Civic or Accord. No arrests have been made and the case remains unsolved. If anyone knew Robert or has information about the vehicle or the shooting, please come forward to help bring his family justice.
