A 27 year old father is killed during a drive-by shooting On a spring afternoon in Omaha, Nebraska, on May 2, 2010, Acie Robinson, a 27-year-old African-American father, was enjoying time with friends. He was sitting on the front porch of a friend's home with two other men, Dexter Levering and Damian Tiffin. The day took a tragic turn when a red or burgundy sedan approached the residence. Without warning, occupants of the vehicle opened fire on the three men, shattering the quiet of the neighborhood.
Multiple gunshots struck all three
individuals before the car sped away from the scene. The shooting occurred in broad daylight, around 12:30 p.m., with some neighbors initially mistaking the rapid succession of shots for fireworks. Emergency services were called, and the three wounded men were transported to the University of Nebraska Medical Center. While Levering and Tiffin survived their injuries, Acie Robinson was pronounced dead at the hospital.
In the aftermath of the shooting, Omaha police began an investigation into the brazen crime. They explored potential connections to another report of shots fired in the vicinity earlier that day, though no definitive link was publicly established. Investigators considered the possibility that the shooting was gang-related, but Robinson's family has consistently maintained that he was not involved in any gang activity. This has left the motive for the deadly assault unclear and added to the family's anguish.
Despite the passage of time, the case has grown cold. No arrests have been made in connection with the murder of Acie Robinson, and no suspects have been publicly identified. The individuals responsible for his death remain at large. The Omaha Police Department continues to appeal to the public for any information that might lead to a breakthrough in the unsolved case, leaving a family and a community still searching for answers and justice for a life cut short.
