Robert Crenshaw, a 27-year-old Black man, was shot and killed in Albion, Michigan, on January 8, 1989. He had recently moved back to Albion from Kalamazoo to live with his mother and was described as working jobs including Manpower in Kalamazoo and Union Steel Products in Albion.

Contemporaneous reporting links the shooting to a short chain of people and places: one account says Crenshaw was with a person identified as Lesley and two other acquaintances at a McDonald’s in Albion when the shooting occurred, and a handgun was later found in a vehicle connected to those events. The same reporting notes police were unable to question one key individual; another account states Lesley was charged in connection with the death.

Crenshaw was buried at Albion Memory Gardens. Does anyone have memories or information about Robert, the night he was killed, or the events that followed?
