Hi, crime junkies. I'm Ashley Flowers. And I'm Britt. And the story I have for you today is one that shouldn't even be a story that we're telling all these years later because the murder of a young soldier, home on leave, was potentially witnessed by a hundred or so people. So this should be solved, put away. The problem is no one is willing to tell police

what happened. But maybe that changes today. This is the story of Solomon Robinson. I'm going to be able to be. I'm going to

the It's Friday, April 3, 1998. And even though it's kind of chilly at night, there is a party going on in St. Mary's Park in the South Bronx, New York.

There's a big crowd of people hanging out, everyone's having a good time, when suddenly, just before 10 p.m., a gunshot rings out.

Someone calls police telling them that a man has been shot and within minutes, EMTs and officers from the

NYPD are on the scene. But it is absolute chaos. I mean, people are fleeing in every direction,

trying to get away from whatever just happened. And a couple of guys on a green motorbike are

speeding down a nearby sidewalk. I mean, true, pandemonium happening here.

But this particular area of the park is pretty well lit,

and responders are able to find the victim easily.

It's a young man laying face down on the grass near a pathway that runs past some basketball courts.

Blood is soaking through his black and yellow striped jacket,

and when EMTs turn him over, they realize that there is nothing they can do.

They see that in addition to the gunshot wound on the left side of his chest, he has also been stabbed multiple times, and his face and neck are slashed too.

The victim is declared dead at 9.50, and police secure the scene and start gathering evidence.

They collect dozens of bottles and cans, remnants of the party that had been going on,

and they also recover a black Nike skull cap and a wristwatch near the young man's body.

What they don't find is a weapon or any shell casings left behind from the gun that was used

or any identification for their victim.
