In the late hours of a Saturday night in Savannah, Georgia, the life of 27-year-old Marquis Robinson was tragically cut short. On January 26, 2019, in the parking lot of the Days Inn on Abercorn Street, Robinson was shot during what authorities have described as a domestic dispute. The African American male was quickly transported to a nearby medical center, but he ultimately succumbed to his injuries.
The incident drew the immediate attention of the Savannah Police Department, who identified 35-year-old Stephanie Matthews as the suspect in the fatal shooting. Reports from that time indicated that Robinson and Matthews were involved in an altercation that escalated to the use of a firearm, leading to the deadly outcome.
Following the shooting, the investigation into Marquis Robinson's death was launched. However, details regarding the arrest and subsequent legal proceedings against Stephanie Matthews have not been publicly available. Information concerning a trial, conviction, or the final resolution of the case remains undisclosed in the public record.
The family and friends of Marquis Robinson were left to mourn their loss. His obituary noted his passing on January 27, 2019, and funeral services were held in the days that followed, where those who knew him gathered to remember a life ended too soon under violent circumstances. The narrative of that fatal night in the motel parking lot remains, for the public, a story without a concluding chapter on the pursuit of justice for Marquis Robinson.
