Jordasch W. Robinson, a 37-year-old African American male, was tragically killed on January 18, 2018, in a double homicide in Chicago, Illinois. The incident occurred around 2:50 a.m. in the 6600 block of South Evans Avenue in the West Woodlawn neighborhood. Jordasch and his cousin, Ronald E. Robinson, were sitting in a vehicle when someone pulled up next to them and opened fire.
Both men were rushed to Stroger Hospital, where Jordasch was pronounced dead at 3:41 a.m., and Ronald at 3:45 a.m.
The investigation into the double homicide revealed that the shooter was Stanley Williams, a 31-year-old African American male. Williams was charged with first-degree murder for the deaths of Jordasch and Ronald Robinson. According to prosecutors, the motive for the killings was linked to a previous altercation between Williams' cousin and Jordasch Robinson. Surveillance footage and cellphone records placed Williams at the scene of the crime, and he was seen driving a silver Chevrolet Malibu, which was used during the shooting.
Williams was arrested and held without bail after a Cook County judge issued a first-degree murder arrest warrant. The case highlighted the ongoing issue of gun violence in Chicago, as the double homicide broke a weeklong lull in gun-related deaths in the city. The tragic deaths of Jordasch and Ronald Robinson underscore the devastating impact of such violence on families and communities.
