On the evening of August 2, 2020, 55-year-old David Lewis Robinson of West Terre Haute, Indiana, was shot and killed near U.S. Highway 150 and Pennington Road. First responders found Robinson on the ground with a fatal gunshot wound; he was pronounced dead at the scene. A second man was also shot that night and was taken first to Union Hospital, then airlifted to an Indianapolis facility with non-life-threatening injuries.

The Vigo County Prosecutor’s Office identified a potential conflict of interest in the investigation and, after consulting the Indiana Prosecuting Attorney’s Council, sought a special prosecutor. David Thomas accepted that appointment to review the case.

Robinson was a carpenter who owned Robinson Construction and a lifetime member of the American Motorcycle Association who raced dirt bikes and quads. If anyone knew him or has information about what happened that night, please come forward to assist the ongoing investigation.
