On the morning of September 25, 2025, in Akron, Ohio, Razeil Robinson, 27, a man known to neighbors and workers nearby, was shot multiple times while seated at a picnic table outside SMB International on the 1000 block of Rosemary Boulevard. Officers responding around 7 a.m. found Razeil Robinson, 27, with fatal wounds; he was pronounced dead at the scene. Family members described Razeil Robinson, 27, as quiet and soft-spoken, someone who would step out mainly to buy groceries or share a cigarette and conversation with workers at the business where he liked to sit.
Investigators pieced together the final moments from calls that began just after midnight, when gunfire was heard in the area, to the later discovery of his body on the grass near the company sign. Police said the 27-year-old man had been at the picnic table when the shooting began; he tried to run but collapsed nearby. The Summit County Medical Examiner and Akron police homicide detectives documented multiple gunshot wounds as they processed the scene and canvassed for surveillance video from neighboring homes and businesses.
By the following day, authorities publicly identified the victim as Razeil Robinson, 27, and emphasized that early indications did not point to a targeted attack. Detectives from the Major Crimes Unit requested tips from the public, urging anyone with information to contact the detective bureau or Crime Stoppers while they gathered evidence and reviewed any footage that might show a suspect or vehicle. Reporting at the time did not announce a motive, and there was no immediate sign that the shooting stemmed from a dispute at the site.
As the investigation unfolded, memorial notices confirmed the identity and age of Razeil Robinson, 27, and tributes from family underscored the portrait of a gentle, humble man whose life ended in an early-morning burst of violence. Community pages that track gun-violence victims likewise recorded his death on September 25, 2025, in Akron. No arrests had been announced in the case and police had not identified a suspect, leaving the killing of Razeil Robinson, 27, an open homicide under active investigation.
