The Murder of Madison Robinson

On August 24th, 2019, Madison "Madi" Robinson is enjoying a day of food and fun with her family at the their home in the 900 block of Jefferson St in Cape Girardeau, Missouri. An altercation earlier in the afternoon with a girl from the neighborhood had gotten tense, so everyone had made their way inside the house at the request of Yameka Robinson, the mother of Madi. Yameka ordered a pizza and went to take a shower while Madi and several others were talking and waiting on the front porch for the pizza to arrive. At this time a vehicle drives by the Robinson home firing several shots in the direction of the house. Madi is wounded in the neck, and does not survive the shooting. Within hours, local law enforcement identify and arrest the shooter, a man named Isaiah Lane. The families hope of receiving justice for their murdered Madi would be short lived however. Inexplicably, a few short months later in November of that same year, Assistant Prosecuting Attorney Angel Woodruff makes the decision to drop all charges against Mr. Lane, citing lack of witness cooperation as the main factor in her decision. Witness tampering, lack of motivation to prosecute, and missteps made by law enforcement leave the investigation into the murder of Madison Robinson in shambles. Will her family ever receive justice? Will the citizens of Cape Girardeau ever get justice for Madi?
