Tashaugn Robinson
Age 17
Trenton, New Jersey
A mentor, shot on MLK Boulevard
He was trying to better himself, and he kept those who knew him on their toes. He was a good kid, a hard worker. The book he chose to read on his own time? A dictionary.
He was loved for his sense of humor and charm: He took selfies on teachers’ phones, in hopes of making people laugh. A role model, he worked as a local youth mentor and camp counselor.
Tashaughn Robinson was killed in a drive-by shooting on June 22, 2018, on Martin Luther King Boulevard in Trenton, New Jersey. He was 17.
