No Soldier Left Behind: The Unsolved Murder of Solomon Robinson

On an early spring evening in 1998, a young soldier returns home on leave, visiting his family for the first extended time since enlisting in the U.S. Army. He’s back in the Bronx neighborhood where he grew up, a place where he had already begun to defy expectations and set his life on a different path.

Late on a Friday night, he heads out and cuts through the same local park he passed through countless times before. In an instant, he is ambushed and killed next to the very basketball courts he grew up playing on. Where he was just earlier that day. Dozens of people were nearby that night who could put the pieces together for this puzzle. And yet, all these years later, no one has fully come forward to do so and bring justice in his case.

In this episode, I share his story alongside retired NYPD First Grade Detective Robert Klein, who spent the later part of his career working to uncover the truth and seek justice for Solomon.

TIPS: Contact NYPD Crime Stoppers at 1-800-577-TIPS . You can also contact your local FBI office. At the time of this recording, there is still a substantial reward for information in this case.
