Robert Mitchell Jr. (8 of Clubs, New York)

Our card this week is Robert Mitchell Jr., the 8 of Clubs from New York.

When the body of Robert Mitchell Jr., a “gentle giant” and towering presence in Rochester’s bar scene, is discovered burning in a public park, detectives don’t know what to think. As rumors swirl and leads dry up, the case grows cold… until a witness comes forward with details so specific, only someone close to the crime could know them. Now, nearly a decade later, investigators believe they know who killed Robert… But proving it in court is another story.

If you know anything about the murder of Robert Mitchell Jr., please call Rochester Police Department’s major crimes unit at 585-428-7157 or email them at MajorCrimes@CityOfRochester.gov.
You can also call Crime Stoppers at 585-423-9300 or submit a tip online here.
