Edwin Gibson, a 32-year-old Black man from East Orange, New Jersey, was shot and killed outside his home on Rhode Island Avenue in the early morning hours of September 5, 2014. His 14-year-old daughter was inside the residence at the time. The encounter began as an attempted robbery; Gibson had no money or valuables on him when he was fatally shot.

The investigation identified a suspect quickly. Five days later, on September 10, 2014, 26-year-old Cory Robinson of Newark was arrested and found in possession of a gun. Ballistic testing matched that weapon to the shots that killed Gibson. Robinson pleaded guilty to aggravated manslaughter and a weapons offense, and the Superior Court judge accepted a plea that included a lengthy prison term with parole eligibility after 18 years and five years of parole supervision following release.

If anyone knew Edwin Gibson, his movements on September 5, 2014, or has information about the events that night, please share what is known.
