Investigators were able to identify Robinson through video surveillance of the attack and with the help of a cooperating witness, police said.

Robinson was also linked to two other armed robberies where he attacked a woman by approaching her from behind and hitting them with an object. 

  • On June 10, the man struck a 25-year-old woman in the head from behind as she walked on a sidewalk in the 500 block of South Franklin Street around 9:30 p.m. The woman was hospitalized in fair condition.
  • Around 7:10 p.m. June 13, he struck a 50-year-old woman with a “long heavy object” as she walked in the first block of East Ida B. Wells Drive. The woman dropped her personal items and the man took them, then hit her two more times before he fled, police said. The woman was taken to Northwestern Memorial Hospital with lacerations to the head.

    Lok at her background and what she was all about. I wonder if she changed her mind about BLM and the criminal justice system as she was being murdered by the same scum she defended

    Every single attack this asshole committed was on a White woman. Hate Crimes here or is that just reserved for Whites against blacks which rarely happens anyway
