In the summer of 2015, the life of a young Memphis man was tragically cut short by an act of violence that remains unsolved. Jarvis Jerome Robinson Sr., a 19-year-old Black male, was shot and killed on July 27, 2015. The fatal shooting occurred behind a Family Dollar store in Memphis, Tennessee.
Following the shooting, Robinson was driven by a friend to Methodist South Hospital. He was in extremely critical condition upon arrival and, despite medical efforts, succumbed to his injuries. The circumstances leading up to the shooting have not been publicly detailed by authorities.
To date, investigators have not released any information regarding a potential suspect or suspects in the murder of Jarvis Robinson. No arrests have been made in connection with his death, and the case officially remains an open investigation. The lack of resolution has left a void for his family and community, as they continue to await answers and justice for the young life that was taken. There have been no public announcements of any new leads or significant developments in the case in the years that have passed.
