U.S. Marshal, Georgia Officer, Indicted in Death of Man Who Was Shot 76 Times

A grand jury returned an eight-count indictment against two law enforcement officers connected with the 2016 death of a man shot 76 times during an attempted fugitive arrest in Atlanta.

An assistant chief inspector with the U.S. Marshal’s Southeast Regional Fugitive Task Force, and a Clayton County police officer working with the task force, were formally charged with felony murder, aggravated assault, burglary, making false statements, and violation of oath by a public officer in connection with the death of 26-year-old Jamarion Robinson.

Eric Heinze and Kristopher Hutchens were officially charged for their involvement in the August 2016 shooting.

Officers shot Robinson 76 times when they tried to enter his apartment. Authorities believed Robinson was the man who pointed a gun at Atlanta officers before fleeing.

A U.S. Marshals Service spokesman claimed officers were attempting to serve warrants on Robinson issued by Atlanta police and Gwinnett County police in the Atlanta area.

A private detective hired by Robinson’s mother uncovered evidence of shots fired directly into the ground where her son’s body lay.

Robinson had been a college football player at Clark Atlanta University and Tuskegee University and had no previous criminal convictions before this incident.

“Over 90 rounds were fired at my son, flash-bang grenades were thrown at him, landed on him burning him. Somebody walked up the stairs, stood over him, and shot down into his body two more times. After that he was handcuffed and drug down a flight of stairs,” his mother, Monteria Robinson described during a news conference in June 2020.
