On June 26, 2014, a family outing in Glendale, Wisconsin, ended in tragedy when 20-year-old Robert Washington Jr. was shot and killed in his driveway. Robert and his 15-year-old brother Wesley had been playing basketball when their father, Robert Washington Sr., who appeared intoxicated, joined the game and fell after being knocked over. The father returned with a handgun and shot Wesley, then fatally shot Robert Jr. in the chest at close range as Robert Jr. ran toward him to intervene.

Police found both brothers lying in a neighbor’s driveway. Paramedics performed CPR on Robert Jr., who was pronounced dead at the scene; Wesley was treated at a hospital and released. Robert Washington Sr., then 57, surrendered to police, was arrested and charged with first-degree reckless homicide and first-degree reckless injury, and later pleaded guilty. In December 2014 a judge sentenced him to 41 years in prison.

If anyone knew Robert Jr. or was in that neighborhood that afternoon, please share what might help clarify what happened.
