Delaware murder suspect escapes multiple police departments after pursuit and crashes


By Alex Lloyd Gross

Police across the country are looking to put handcuffs on 20 year old Dejuan Robinson from Delaware.  this person who is a suspect in more than one murder was spotted by cops in Wilmington Delaware today, January 9 2019,  He was driving a vehicle north on Interstate 495  with cops behind him.  He crossed into Pennsylvania and possibly thought that the cops would call off the pursuit. He was wrong.

As he sped through Chester and Upland, he is accused of ramming some slower moving vehicles and that caused one to slam into a Wilmington Delaware police vehicle on I-95 near the airport. That caused one of the patrol cars to flip onto it’s side, which resulted in two officers getting hurt. I-95 was closed for a short time at the Platt Bridge due to this crash.

Robinson then drove north and got off  the interstate in the vicinity of the sports complex. With cops still in pursuit, he slammed into another vehicle and a SEPTA bus  at Broad and Oregon, and fled on foot.  He escaped into the neighborhood which caused several schools to be placed on lock down.  At least two people were hurt in that crash as well, police said.  Robinson is still being sought, in spite of aggressive searches with K-9 units and helicopters assisting. Robinson ran into a nearby check cashing store and asked them to change a $50.00 bill.  He then ran down neighborhood streets and discarded his shirt,
