August 6, 2021
On August 5, 2021, a jury convicted Marius Dante Robinson, 48, of the second-degree murder of Robert Ellis Coleman, 43.
On July 2, 2020, at approximately 4:30 p.m., the defendant's wife got into a verbal argument with Mr. Coleman at a grocery store near the corner of International Boulevard and 74th Avenue. After the argument, Mr. Coleman left the area. However, the defendant's wife walked home to 74th Avenue and told the defendant about the argument. In response, the defendant armed himself with a .45 caliber semiautomatic firearm and went out in search of Mr. Coleman. Video surveillance showed the defendant searching for Mr. Coleman on foot in the area of the grocery store where the argument occurred. That surveillance showed the defendant "clutching" the waist of his pants where the apparent outline of a gun was visible.
