A young soldier, home on leave, should have been safe in his own neighborhood. Instead, 19-year-old Solomon Robinson was murdered in a park full of people — but no one has ever come forward to say what really happened. Decades later, his family is still searching for justice, and detectives are hoping someone will finally break the silence.
The FBI is offering up to $25,000 for information leading to the identity, arrest, and conviction of whoever is responsible for Solomon's murder. If you know anything about what happened in St. Mary’s Park in the Bronx on the night of Friday, April 3rd, 1998, contact NYPD Crime Stoppers at 1-800-577-TIPS or submit a tip online here. You can also contact your local FBI office.
