Michael Robinson, a 54-year-old man from Clearwater, Florida, was found dead on August 6, 2019, in his home at 2691 Sabal Springs Circle, Clearwater. His death was the result of a gunshot wound, and it was discovered during an investigation into another homicide in Safety Harbor, Florida. Robinson's death was linked to the fatal shooting of Susan Clark, a 64-year-old woman, by her son, John Clark, 35, on August 3, 2019.
The investigation began when John Clark called a friend in Illinois and confessed to killing his mother. The friend alerted the Pinellas County Sheriff's Office, which responded to the scene at 2360 Flanders Way, Safety Harbor. Deputies found Susan Clark dead from a gunshot wound. John Clark was not present at the scene, prompting a search for him. Deputies later spotted him driving his mother's Volkswagen Eos. When they attempted to stop him, Clark pointed a shotgun at them, leading to a confrontation where deputies shot and killed him.
During the investigation, detectives learned that Michael Robinson was an acquaintance of John Clark. They attempted to contact Robinson at his home on August 6, 2019, but found him dead from an apparent gunshot wound. The connection between Robinson and Clark remains unclear, but it is believed that Clark may have been involved in Robinson's death.
The Pinellas County Sheriff's Office has requested information from the public regarding the movements of a blue 2012 Volkswagen Eos in the Safety Harbor/Countryside area between 12:30 a.m. and 4:30 a.m. on August 3, 2019. The investigation into the deaths of Michael Robinson and Susan Clark is ongoing, with detectives seeking any additional information that could shed light on the circumstances surrounding these tragic events.
