Kendel Robinson

Police said the murder was captured on Citgo gas station cameras. Videos show Wofford arriving at the gas station. Moments later, the suspect approached the victim’s car. The two spoke and the suspect then entered the store. CCTV footage in the store showed the suspect’s description. It was a black man wearing surgical gloves and pulling down a surgical mask under his nose. According to police, the suspect had distinctive features, including a very distinctive nose.

The suspect then returned to the passenger side of the vehicle and fired several rounds at the car, striking the victim.

The suspect then fled toward the Battery Heights Apartments. A K9 followed the suspect into the apartments but was unable to get past the parking lot. It was learned that Robinson’s girlfriend lives at the apartments.

Police reviewed the victim’s Facebook data and found a conversation between him and Robinson just before the murder. Police said: “The two arranged an apparent drug deal.” The victim gave Robinson his phone number and asked him to call him.

Phone records showed the victim received a call from Robinson’s phone immediately after the Facebook exchange.

Police said they had previously released photos of the suspect and several members of the public said it was Kendel Robinson.

Prosecutor Coyle praised the victim’s mother and said she had always attended court. The mother initially wanted to make a statement at the hearing, but decided not to.
