A double shooting in New Orleans’ Plum Orchard neighborhood left a 16-year-old wounded and a man named Shiquille Robinson dead within the span of a single night in December 2022, and nearly four years on, the case remains unsolved. Police first responded to a shooting call in the 4800 block of Viola Street around 8:15 p.m. on Dec. 28, 2022, finding the injured teenager before they ever learned a second victim was nearby.
According to WGNO, officers took the 16-year-old to the hospital after finding him injured at the scene. About two hours after clearing the location, police were called back after a second victim turned up near the area where the teen had been shot. That victim was identified as Shiquille Robinson, who had also been shot and was declared dead at the scene, the station reported.
Case Remains Open Nearly Four Years Later
WGNO reported that Robinson’s homicide remained unsolved nearly four years after the shooting. The report did not identify a suspect or motive, establish a connection between the two victims, or describe further investigative developments.
The case is among those featured through WGNO’s Wheel of Justice segment, an effort built around CrimeStoppers tips. Per the same account, tipsters do not have to give their name or testify in court to be eligible for a reward, and anyone with information can call CrimeStoppers at 504-822-1111.
Reward Terms and Program Track Record
WGNO’s report states that a tipster could be eligible to earn a $2,500 cash reward for information in Robinson’s case. Separately, CrimeStoppers GNO’s general program materials describe a standard reward of up to $2,500 for information leading to an arrest, with rewards of up to $5,000 possible for an arrest and indictment in homicide cases — terms that were not reconciled with the specific reward described for the Robinson case.
What CrimeStoppers’ reward policy confirms
The CrimeStoppers GNO open-cases policy sets a standard reward of up to $2,500 for information leading to an arrest and says homicide rewards may reach $5,000 for an arrest and indictment. The board may increase a reward up to $5,000 depending on case specifics. That general policy does not establish whether Robinson’s homicide is currently listed on the organization’s open-cases page or confirm a board-approved reward for this case; the $2,500 case-specific figure is from WGNO’s report.
CrimeStoppers GNO says on its open cases page that it has helped solve more than 17,789 felony crimes and paid out more than $2,550,000 in rewards since its founding. The Wheel of Justice segment itself has driven more than 500 bookings tied to cases featured on air, according to a separate WGNO report on the program’s impact in New Orleans.
Anyone with information is encouraged to contact CrimeStoppers at 504-822-1111. Tipsters may remain anonymous, according to WGNO’s report.
