On a cold December day in Oklahoma City, a promising young man's life was tragically cut short, leaving a family shattered and a community searching for answers. Twenty-five-year-old Ra'Mon Anthony Robinson, a man with aspirations of becoming a church deacon and eventually a minister, was murdered on December 14, 2009. He was looking forward to his wedding the following August and was scheduled to give his first sermon just six days after he was killed.
The day he died, Ra'Mon had gone
to the Britton Courtyard Apartments on West Britton Road to pick up his younger brother from a friend's home. According to witnesses, an argument broke out between Ra'Mon and two unidentified African American men just before the fatal encounter. As Ra'Mon opened the door to leave the apartment, he was shot eight times at close range. He died in his brother's arms.
In the years following the shooting, the investigation into Ra'Mon's death has yielded few leads, and the case has grown cold. His family has voiced their pain and frustration with the lack of progress in finding his killers. They feel that his case has not been given the attention it deserves by the authorities. The two men he was seen arguing with have never been identified, and no arrests have been made in connection with his murder.
The Oklahoma City Police Department continues to ask for the public's help for any information that might lead to a breakthrough in the case of Ra'Mon Anthony Robinson. His loved ones hold onto the hope that one day justice will be served for the man who was so much more than just a statistic; a beloved son, fiancé, and aspiring minister whose future was stolen from him.
