Homicide Report > Melvin Robbins, 27
Melvin Robbins, 27
Died Sept. 11, 2010 at 12:28 a.m.
Melvin Robbins, a 27-year-old black man, died Saturday, Sept. 11, hours after he was shot on an Metro bus near Crenshaw and Hyde Park Boulevards in Hyde Park, according to Los Angeles County coroner's records.
Robbins was on the bus on Sept. 10 at about 5:20 p.m. when he got into an argument with another passenger and was shot, said L.A. County sheriff's homicide Det. Louie Aguilera, who is handling the investigation.
The two did not know each other, Aguilera said.
The assailant, described by witnesses as a short, thin black male in his 20s, got off the bus after the shooting, Aguilera said. Passengers called authorities, and Robbins was taken to Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center where he died almost seven hours later, according to coroner's records.
No arrests have been made in connection with the case, Aguilera said. Investigators do not believe the incident was gang-related.
Anyone with information about the identity or whereabouts of the shooter is asked to contact Aguilera at (323) 890-5615.

i dont know what happened but i do know this, Ronzell Lane was killed in eight trey hood zone (83rd gangstaz) thursday 9-9, then this guy got murked in rollin 60s hood 2 days later... could these two murders be connected to the over 30 year feud between the two crip gangs?
Sept. 15, 2010 at 1:23 a.m.
These murders are in no way related. this was a shooting that happend on a bus over a female. sad situation. i knew this man

Why should he not have the right to go anywhere he pleases? Do the sociopaths have legal claim on what part of the community is theirs and theirs alone?
Sept. 15, 2010 at 11:56 a.m.
everyday reader: You say this incident was in connection with a female? There was no mention of a third party in the writeup so can you please elaborate?
Sept. 15, 2010 at 12:31 p.m.
Rest in Peace Melvin...you will be missed...this is a sad situation. Had nothing to do with that other shooting. Too young for his life to be lost.
Sept. 15, 2010 at 3:43 p.m.
I've known Melvin for over 12 years. He was a handsome young man 6'4" tall, he was not confrontational, he was never one to look for trouble. He was a son, brother, father, and friend whose life was cut short by some idiot with a gun on a bus. Of course there's more to it than what the writeup says. It's wise not to post everything murderers also read these post.
Sept. 15, 2010 at 3:51 p.m.
First and foremost RIP to Brother Robbins.May G-D bless the family. If these blocks belong to these so called ''gangs'' Why isn't the street named after them?
Sept. 15, 2010 at 5:06 p.m.
Syscom3, Why ask? You know that these vermon have no regard for human life, not even their own, I just know that I'm getting a little disengaged emotionally from this blog simply because how long can one keep reading about young men and women getting cut down week in and week out, and for what? because he probably made a mistake and walked thru some BS rollin 60s neigborhood? When is enough enough? Huh 562vert? maybe you can answer that! You seen to know all the ins & outs of this gang stuff.
Sept. 15, 2010 at 7:30 p.m.
R*I*P Melvin (Booner). I have watch you grow from a boy to a man, and I hate that this happen to you, but u rest now with the father, and by our prayers your killer will be caught, and tried. Ur dying was not in vein. I love u lil brother. And we will take care of your children and the one who truely held your heart since u were 12. so sad!!!!!!!!
Sept. 15, 2010 at 9:47 p.m.
R.I.P. Melvin...Melvin did not have a connection to any gang or other shooting in the area. The details of his shooting are not important,but finding his killer is.Melvin may GOD rest your sole, and give your family the strength to go on!
Sept. 15, 2010 at 10:21 p.m.
RIP to Melvin. May God give you all the streng to go on living in this world full of murderers that have very little brains. No one believes it but, yes the devil is real and wants us to die and go to hell, we need to read and study the bible, please some one read anything, but if you don't know what to read go to "Revelation chap. 22". How can this be, not even on a bus with people aboard can a person be safe. This is not fair. Please GOD help us.
Sept. 15, 2010 at 10:23 p.m.
R.I.P MELVIN...His murder had no connection to any gang.The details of his murder are not important,finding his killer is!
Sept. 15, 2010 at 10:33 p.m.
Can you all read. The police said they do not beleive that it was gang related. The argument was over something else. People are sick. I hate that another mother is crying over her child
Sept. 16, 2010 at 12:42 a.m.
To my lil, brodie, and friend. Just reading this still hurts. Since you were in 6th grade you were under me. We grew up together, had fun, was wild, made mistakes, etc. There is no words capable of expressing my feeling of lost and hurt over you.
Only those in the inner circle truly know how close we were. In the last couple of years we were at odds over politics. Looking back none of it was that important. We allowed our ego and pride to dilute a friendship that would entered the gates of hell and back many times for each other.
What hurts more was my stubborn nature didn't allow me to side step the bullsh*t and move one. The last words I spoke to you was, "I ain't on it, do you, while I three step over here". I could hear the hurt in your voice when you said, "Your my day one but you ain't giving a fu*k to what I got to say."
I'll forever remember our last conversation and regret I didn't tell you what we usually said to each other at the end of every conversation since 9th grade... "Stay safe love one."
Now my lil is gone over a nothing ass slum. You were too solid to go that way. I can't help but feel it's a slap in the face that a real one is gone while all these cowards are still here. I love you brodie, I'll forever miss you, may you eternally rest in peace.
Sept. 16, 2010 at 5:49 a.m.
When did Crenshaw and Hyde Park become eight trey gangster hood?? Somebody seems to be trying to get something stared!
Sept. 16, 2010 at 7:48 a.m.
He was one of those people that would light up the room. One of those people that everybody liked. Very handsome and exciting. He loved very deep and had a good heart. A lot of people are grieving this senseless death of a good man. One day we will all meet again until then I know you are looking down on all of us keeping watch. My prayers are with his family.
Sept. 16, 2010 at 9:31 a.m.
To family and friends- May God Bless you and your family in this time of sorrow, lean not unto your own understanding but pray to God for strength and guidence and He will see you through. R.I.P Melvin.
Sept. 16, 2010 at 9:40 a.m.
The guy who shot him was undoubtably a gangster. Those are the only psychopaths that carry a gun and will shoot for no reason.
Sept. 16, 2010 at 10:34 a.m.
Melvin may you rest in peace my friend I haven't seen you since high school but just to have known you and to have that pleasure to be around you i will definitley miss you. Your outgoing personality and your smile.May god bless you, your family and freinds. Forever you will be miss.
Sept. 16, 2010 at 11:29 a.m.
Booner aka Melvin I know ur resting in peace alongside another loving man Archie. Ur family has another Angel watching over them. May God bless the loves of his life.<3
Sept. 16, 2010 at 11:32 a.m.
To everyone who is using this time to talk about rather he was in a gang or not, or if it was related to banging. let me tell you WE DON'T CARE!!!!! That is not important right now, please let your ignorance be displayed somewhere else. This is our family that has departed from us. His parents will read this, have some respect. and another thing you are just as guilty as any banger, because your allowing the devil to use you also to talk about it and give it light. PLEASE go somewhere else and express your thoughts. this ain't the time or the place. if you want to talk about anything relating to melvin, help find his killer then speak up and talk about that everything else is irrevelant now.May you find peace in your hearts and in your minds. and may God give you the spirit of discernment so you don't display this ignorant character again. thank you. R*I*P MY BABY, LOVE YA
Sept. 16, 2010 at 12:51 p.m.
To the family and friends of Melvin Robbins- Stay strong and stay close to each other. Even when you want to be alone , go to one another for support and comfort. It will take a long time before the tears and the pain ease up;but it will ease up. Don't let the police forget about him- all MTA buses have camaras with and without sound- if the witneses can give a description of the shooter, then the police can get the tapes and identify the killer. Don't stop asking for updates on Melvin's case -stay on it so they can not forget this terrible crime. God Bless this family.
Sept. 16, 2010 at 2:08 p.m.
Never thought I would b sayin good bye so soon ,I was so proud to c u grown up being a father doin the right thing !u were a solid homie u will b greatly missed but never forgotten ! R.I.P.
Sept. 16, 2010 at 7:13 p.m.
This was a man who really loved his kids no matter what.. He should not be spoken upon as if his death was about gang violence. The person who did this has no soul and he is walking around somewhere right now. Do we have a face to go on? No.. And this man could be anywhere right now and he is very dangerous.. this dangerous man could be sitting talking to anybody you know right now. We need a solution to this problem. This man just shot a person on public transportation.. Do you know how many people ride the bus. this is some real scary stuff, Wow public transportation not even safe in the day or night time! Just seeing this blog about the father of my neice and nephew just makes me mad!!!! Im so angry@ how the system works. I hate how they write down on paper what they want to write down and not the whole truth. They should have just told the story "A killer got on the bus@ onestop n then before he got off he made an attempt on Melvins life which later caused his death,who he didnt even know and took his life for no reason that anyone is aware of@ the moment" I love you Melvin i am glad I had the pleasure of really seeing you dam near 24hrs before you was taken from your love one's so short in time.. Please watch over us down here cause you know we have a long path ahead:)
Sept. 16, 2010 at 7:28 p.m.
@ syscom3 the columbine killers weren't gangsters, they carried guns and killed for no reason
Sept. 16, 2010 at 8:07 p.m.
if you have any information on where to find the killer "davonne" a 20 year old short skinny black male. he has a brother named "jarod gills" please come forward and let police know. thank you
Sept. 17, 2010 at 9:44 a.m.
man ronzell was not in trey's hood!!! 92nd and western is rollin 90's hood, and he got shot by some inglewood familys not no treys
Sept. 18, 2010 at 8:49 a.m.
PLEASE STOP TALKING ABOUT THIS RONZELL AND WHAT HOOD HE WAS FROM. WE DO NOT CARE. THIS IS FOR MELVIN. FIND SOMEWHERE ELSE TO TALK ABOUT THAT IN RESPECT FOR HIS FAMILY AND FRIENDS.
Melvin you are loved by many and may your soul rest in peace. You will always be in the hearts of many and in the light of your children's eyes. I am praying for your family.
Sept. 18, 2010 at 8:29 p.m.
All this darn mention about hoods. How has it come to this?!!! NOBODY owns these neighborhoods! Rest in peace Ronzell. Rest in peace Melvin. We know these two murderers are still roaming the streets along with many others. It seems to me that if everyone on the street knows who these killers are then it's a given that the police know! They don't care about your HOODS! They'll care if you go outside your so called HOOD! YOU MUST CARE about your HOOD! Please stop teaching your babies to be criminals and murderers so that the next generation has a chance!
Sept. 19, 2010 at 9:23 a.m.
Well I figured it out after I posted yes ronzell was in the 90s and as for guys getting murked on buses on the shaw.... let's take it back to 2 23 09 when EDWARD WALKER lll ,17. Aka orignal tiny loc baby tweety from inglewood ledgend crips 92 got shot and murked on a mta bus on 60th and crenshaw if I'm correct by a tiny yg from inglwood family bloods.... that's two bus killings within a little over a year...I bet the shooter of mr robbins was a gangster
Sept. 21, 2010 at 8:55 a.m.
I think people should really mind there business, If you dont know what the eff happen you should really just be quiet. He has kids and family he has left behind and thats what important right now.. I knew him really well and he was a good person.. RIP MELVIN.
Sept. 21, 2010 at 9:10 a.m.
Vert your right, gang members ride the bus to. And yeah Edward was slipping. Everbody thinks when someone gets killed in the 60s it's automatically a 83gc who did it. There not knowing the inglewood family bloods killed that guy on brynhurst behind the cages a few months back. The IFGB are notorious Just like the etg
Sept. 21, 2010 at 4:01 p.m.
@shaylo, i think people should say what the want to say and if the la times allows or not to allow our comments to be posted so be it.. as a reader of the HR since 2007 i make comments as i please too bad he got murked on the bus... it can be me, sheesh it might be me next, and if that happens and my name appears on the HR as a homicide victim i would expect people to write their thoughts or theories or whatever if they know what happened or didnt ... im a single dad and i have a family...but the one of the most important thing is for that killer to be off the streets right now..thats what is important to me right now,all these killers up and down the streets as you read this who got away with murder
Sept. 21, 2010 at 5:33 p.m.
Seems to me the police are letting these gangs have their way in the communities - especially those that wear a certain color (need I say it) - they're all over the place! This guy needs to be off the streets - rat his @$$ out if you know who he is. Of course he's a gang member. There is such a thing as Karma though. People go through life thinking they've gotten away with something - but Karma catches up to you sooner or later. He's walking around thinking he's a BIG man cause he carries a gun and isn't afraid to use it. Young man YOU ARE A COWARD!!! Weenies pull triggers. Men talk out their differences till they come to a conclusion that satisfies both. If that doesn't work they stand and fight toe-to-toe! The loser walks away - better's his skills and returns for another duel and hopes he wins this round.
Sept. 22, 2010 at 11:23 a.m.
— evelyn .... "Seems to me the police are letting these gangs have their way in the communities"
How so? It's the local communities that have a don't snitch philosophy. It's the elected officials who wont do anything. Its the courts that listen to a few community activists rather than protect the public.
It's that way because of the people who vote in the same do nothing officials every election day. Year after year after year. Look in the mirror. You will see who's to blame.
Sept. 22, 2010 at 4:49 p.m.
R.I.P Melvin you will always be remembered as the tall guy with the bright smile who kept me laughing. This is a really unfortunate event and I agree with the people above all this hood talk and who got popped b4 or after is irrelevant bottom line someone lost a son,brother,father and friend. Unless this hood talk will help bring the shooter to justice keep it to yourself. It's all senseless killing gang related or not no color , female or car is worth a life.
Sept. 22, 2010 at 11:18 p.m.
RiP Booner... Melvin
you are greatly missed but the memories and moments are forever remember. thats something he couldnt take from us and im sure everyone on here can admit that every moment they shared with you was one to remember because you were just that kind of person so bright and so loving.
i love you bro your always in my heart.
watch over the fam
Sept. 23, 2010 at 2:33 a.m.
gone but not forgotten rest in peace Booner just wanna say you was a real friend and a true soldier now you will live on to a better place. We all still down here fighting this battle trying to get to heaven rest in peace homie .
Sept. 23, 2010 at 8:18 a.m.
@ syscom3 - true: there is a don't snitch philosophy in these communities - in all urban communities. Of course the community shares the responsibility of it coming to this (no one is safe on these streets) alongside the police/sheriff department (who by the way have their own gang which also practices a no snitch philosophy). Some - not all - parents are allowing their children to represent gang colors and attire (they know when their child is in a gang) hell they were and probably still are in gangs themselves - that's the mentality they've grown up with. The police do nothing to disband these animals - because 1) you'll have some ignorant parents yelling police brutality, and 2) why bother as long as they terrorize their own neighborhoods. It's a double edge sword. The police rather have these gang members kill each other - with a little help from yours truly. If some innocent "good kid" is caught in the crossfire so be it. I'm close to this tragedy and I and total strangers have heard the name of Melvin's killer. His 'homies' know who he is - he hasn't been quiet about it. Hell his parents probably know! There is truly only six degrees of separation - someone always knows someone that knows someone. The police won't investigate a person on hearsay - but in this case they don't need hearsay or witnesses - they have video from the camera installed on the bus. The police have the same information we have here on these streets and believe me they have snitches at their disposal. And because I don't think I'm perfect I can look in the mirror and honestly say I should have done more because I know it takes a community to raise a child but instead I chose to move far from the community because of it's crime and therefor have no voting rights in that community or county and haven't for many years. There are no community activists. With no backing from the community - they've all given up! And there have been organizations formed to uplift the communities and the people living in them - however, the police and government made sure to discredit and destroy them. And because I will NOT STAND ALONE with all these odds against me (call me a coward) - I'll just shut my mouth and let the gangs continue to run things.

R.I.P. Booner
you will be miss never know what a person mean to you until they are gone i love you and i know your family love you as well i will stay strong for them because that is what they need to my friend / family i love you and i miss you
you was my nigga and still is u will always live in my heart....for ever and ever i pray for you mom and sisters ever day
Sept. 23, 2010 at 3:03 p.m.
Evelyn,
Don't feel bad. Syscom3 hasn't done anything either to make a positive impact in any of these communities. Rather he points blame and takes stabs at other readers of the homicide report. Take care.
Sept. 23, 2010 at 4:36 p.m.
— Paul 619; you don't even know where I live, let alone what I do with my time.
Once again, someone accuses me of this and that, without having any facts to back them up.
Sept. 23, 2010 at 10:40 p.m.
Man why did this guy decide to bang 90nap crip for. There are criminal out there who take offense to people claiming certain gangs. The out come of this criminal rage can be death
mr 1x7hoover is out
Sept. 25, 2010 at 8:12 a.m.
@ ws1x7h24verz - NEVER THAT! And there you go trying to justify a murder - why is someone out there feeling a little guilty and/or scared??? Or trying to put the blame elsewhere??? When it comes to the street POLITICS that gang bangers/members THINK they control and/or enforce there is NEVER a valid reason to KILL/MURDER someone!!! RAGE for and about WHAT!!!??? You don't own crap! Neither of them owned a damn car!!! Thugs are now doing bus-by's . . . get on - shoot someone - get off? Freaking hilarious! Melvin was a great guy - that doesn't matter - this was wrong period!!! He was a solid individual and didn't have the need to carry a gun!
Sept. 27, 2010 at 2:35 p.m.
This was an unfortunate incident that has caused my family more than enough grief. Booner is a good man and will Live on through his children! We all have a part to do in these streets regardless of where we live. Unfortunately any attempts to unite or better our community are destroyed. We are deprived in many ways, as opposed to working together with what we have we work against each other. The only thing this does is make the wound deeper and deeper. Until we stop allowing others to tell us we are not deserving of a better life we will continue to have blood shed. When a child is brought up in families that have generations of criminals they may not be anything more. That is all they know which makes it right. When we start to teach our children to have their own minds and not follow the crowd we will see change. In order to see change we have to start at the foundation! Teach our children core values and the true meaning of life, not what the media says is life. The day we unite we will not be stopped! The last thing "They" want us to do is Unite! This is why they destroy any organizations that can bring this about. I could go on forever but I will end with this.
Today I asked Booners daughter how the funeral made her feel she responded "It made me sad. I was really sad, but I know my Daddy is always with me"
Spread Love People And You Will Get Love In Return!!!!!

Sept. 29, 2010 at 4:13 p.m.
come back Melvin... please...
Oct. 12, 2010 at 9:55 a.m.
@— NH RSC: I hope your statement was written as a parody. If not perhaps you (and your friends) could take grammar & English classes in your spare time. Educating yourself and others can bring about positive change for you and your communities.
Oct. 12, 2010 at 1 p.m.
Another murder on the Crenshaw - MTA Bus!!! WTF!!! The community better start screaming over this!!!
Oct. 14, 2010 at 9:55 a.m.

Oct. 28, 2010 at 3:22 p.m.
I Have A 4yr old with this man. It s heartbreaking to see that u guys are too ignorant to not try to throw dirt on his name. I plan to put this in a scrapbook for my son, but yall have all this b.s going on and on about gangs. FORREAL take that somewhere else. The article says nothing about gangs and those of u who dont know him still assume the worse, why? cuz he was a blackk man in L.A. Newsflash not all black men are bad and he was certainly taken before his time. I LOVE U MELVIN AND I MISS U REST IN PEACE.
Nov. 2, 2010 at 10:03 p.m.
you are VERY LOVED and MISSED Melvin....your smile is worth amillion bucks..
Nov. 8, 2010 at 11:40 a.m.
To all that left heart felt comments, we appreciate it. I am still suffering the lost of my loving son this will be with me for the rest of my life. I hope who ever took part in this horrible crime they commited come forth and turn your self in, I KNOW THAT JESUS WILL TAKE CARE ALL !
Nov. 17, 2010 at 10:47 a.m.
Man im gonna miss you cant belive you not here anymore i gonna miss all the good times we had man he had a smile that would make anyones day love you...
Nov. 21, 2010 at 10:35 p.m.
To Melvins killer, you took away a man that was VERY LOVED and you have caused a tremendous amount of heartache to many people. Believe me when i say what you may think you have gotten away with, you havnt. God sees EVERYTHING. You took away a very loving father, brother, son, nephew ect.. and now because of you he will never see all his children grow up, and we (his family) will no longer be able to enjoy his presence on this earth. you have caused me more pain than words. you should own up to your mistake, and take responsibility for it. if not, live with the fact everyday of your life that you have caused his innocent children pain, his innocent mother pain, his inncoent sisters pain..So many innocent people so much pain and suffering.. do the right thing and remember that the Lord sees all.
Nov. 22, 2010 at 12:05 p.m.
To the family of Melvin Robbins, May God comfort your hearts during these difficult times. I will continue to pray for your strength as the holidays approach and you try to cope with your beloved son, brother and father no longer being here with you. Please know that GOD is sitting on high and WILL deal with the individual who took Melvin from you. The bible(NIV) speaks about the dangers of the last days. II Timothy 3:3 states" they will be unloving and unforgiving: they will slander others and have no self-control;they will be cruel and have no interest in what is good". This is clearly displayed as I read the HR in the Times. I live on the East coast in Philly we do not have a publication similar to the Homicide Report. However, I might as well be reading a story in the Philadelphia Daily News or New York Times because the stories are pretty much the same. So my prayer is that everyone who reads this blog will humble themselves, pray and choose God. For we are in the last days and the time has come for every person to choose which side you are going to be on. We know what side Melvin's killer has choosen, Which side do you choose?????
Nov. 22, 2010 at 5:15 p.m.
WeLoveYouMelvin, I am deeply saddened by your post. Many times i skim over LA times to see how sick your county is yet I never stop to think about the lives lost. I am sorry that you lost Melvin and I hope that things get better for you and his family. Also, I do believe that the sick bastard that killed him will get punished on earth or when he dies.
Nov. 23, 2010 at 6:27 a.m.
I was looking at an old photo of "booner" what a gorgeous smile he had. My grand babies have that same smile. I saw an older man in his 60's at the grocery store the other night and he had a striking resemblance to "booner" and he looks like what "booner" would have looked like if he were able to grow old. Smh. I shed a tear for "booner" at the sight of that old man. I thought . . . what if?
Dec. 8, 2010 at 4:38 p.m.
i miss you Melvin :(
Thank You for hoping things get better for me and the people who loved him. I appreciate it JIGMIC.

MELVIN DARNELL ROBBINS... I miss you soooo much !!!!!There is not a moment that goes by i don't think of you... You were & still are my everything !!! We spent 13 years of our life together some bad but mostly good & i thank GOD for it all... It's been nearly 3 months since your soul has been at rest & i still can't believe it... Everything i have reminds me of you... All i do is think of where we could of been if i didn't give up on us... That's my only regret !!! Your son Melvin Jr. is a splitting image of you which comforts me at times... & you daughter IImari acts just like you it's crazy :) I'm so thankful to still have two of you around :) They miss you sooooo much !!!!! but don't worry their mother is strong & will not let the beautiful memories they have with you be forgotten & I will continue to teach them the things I know you want instilled in them... I am so blessed to have had you as the father of my kids my man & my best friend... No one will ever compare or take your place !!! My 1st & only love... You believed in me & always told me i can do it even when i was certain i couldn't... I miss your smile, seeing your face & being held in your arms... Everything i ever complained about all seems so small now & if i could do it all over again it would still be you !!!!! It's crazy how this thing called life works... Born to die... Why??? & why does it hurt so bad ??? I thought i knew what it felt like to loose you because i've lost you before but it was nothing like this... To be so young we've been through a lot, seen a lot, been many places & learned so much all together... You are the only person who know's me inside & out... You took up so much space in my heart & now that your gone it feels so empty... I wanna scream right now ugghhh !!! You left behind so many loved ones & I know exactly how they all feel... You were a very very special person to all you came across... Anyone who knew you loved you for exactly who you were... To momma Bridgette & Mr. Robbins THANK YOU so much for bringing him into this world & raising him to be the awesome man he was... If he didn't care about anything else you could be damn sure he cared about his family... He was a soldier & could make anything out of nothing... One of the strongest people i knew... He's resting in peace with my Daddy now & many other loved one's we've lost... & I KNOW HEAVEN IS A LITTLE BRIGHTER NOW THAT HE'S THERE... RIP BABY you are our angel now & I know you hear our prayers... Continue watching over us... until we meet again... PEESHA !!! (He loved to call me that :)

happy fathers day to the greatest dad ever

My heart is full of sorrow for all those who express their pain here, pain caused by a deed as absurd as it was despicable. Melvin is in peace and happiness forever now, far beyond the reach of those who would hurt him. It is those he leaves behind who need strength, courage and help. I will say a prayer for all of you. May God bless all of you.
