Brian Keith Robertson II, a 30-year-old Black male from Columbus, OH, tragically lost his life on September 11, 2020. He was affectionately known as "Keithfee" by family and friends. Robertson was found in a vehicle parked in front of a house on Robinhood Park, suffering from multiple gunshot wounds. Despite being rushed to an area hospital, he succumbed to his injuries and was pronounced dead at 5:00 AM.
The incident was reported to Columbus Patrol Officers at approximately 4:38 AM, and
the case was quickly classified as an unsolved homicide. The Columbus Police Department has been actively investigating the case, but as of now, no arrests have been made in connection with Robertson's death.
In a significant development, Jacoby C. Howard, a 30-year-old man from Greenville, South Carolina, was arrested in connection with Robertson's murder. Howard is facing several charges, including murder and tampering with evidence. He was arrested on November 2, 2022, and is currently awaiting extradition to Ohio to face trial.
The case remains under investigation, and the Columbus Police Department continues to seek additional information or tips from the public to bring justice for Brian Robertson II. The community remembers Robertson as the "life of the barbershop" where he worked, and his loss has been deeply felt by those who knew him.
