In the winter of 2021, the city of Jackson, Mississippi, was troubled by a string of violence that claimed the life of 31-year-old Ramone Robinson. On the evening of Friday, February 12th, police were called to a residence in the 3900 block of Garland Avenue. Inside, they made a grim discovery: the bodies of Ramone Robinson and a 29-year-old woman named Ashley Bratton.
Both had been shot multiple times.
The deaths were quickly ruled a double homicide, marking the 18th and 19th murders in the city that year. Investigators began the arduous task of piecing together the events that led to the fatal shootings. However, the case proved to be challenging from the outset. With no immediate leads or clear motive, the investigation struggled to gain traction.
As weeks turned into months, the families of Ramone Robinson and Ashley Bratton were left waiting for answers. The Jackson Police Department urged the public to come forward with any information that might lead to a breakthrough in the case. Despite their pleas, the trail remained cold. As of the latest available information, no suspects have been identified or arrested in connection with the double homicide. The case remains an open and unresolved investigation, a painful chapter in the city's history of gun violence and a source of enduring grief for the victims' loved ones.
