Home Invasion Suspects

On 1/20/2020, around 8:00 pm, Evansville Police Officers were called about a burglary on SE Second St. near Haynie’s Corner where a black woman knocked on the front door and began asking the victim a few questions.  The victim noticed there was a man with the woman that was standing back on the sidewalk.  Based on the questions the woman was asking and the presence of the man, the victim closed the door because the situation seemed suspicious.  When the victim entered back into the house, a different male subject had entered the back door and was holding the victim’s partner at gunpoint.  The initial victim was able to activate the panic alarm and the subjects fled without taking anything.

Based on the description given by the victim, a possible name for the woman was developed, and on 1/29/2020, around 10:00 pm, she was stopped in a vehicle by EPD VIPER detectives. The vehicle matched a description of a previous home invasion robbery from a few days earlier in the same area, a silver vehicle with driver’s side damage. The driver’s name is Abronna Robinson.  Detectives developed other names of associates of Robinson.  Their names were Jamar Grisby and Deshawndrick Lockridge.  Grisby (18) and a juvenile subject were located later on the 29^th.  All three subjects, Robinson, Grisby, and the juvenile, were at EPD headquarters and interviews were conducted by detectives.  

Through the course of the investigation, it was learned that the subjects conspired to have Robinson (20) knock on the front door of the house and she and Lockridge (20) were going to force their way inside the front of the home and Grisby and the juvenile would force their way into the back at the same time.  

Robinson, Grisby, and the juvenile were incarcerated at the Vanderburgh Co. Jail and Youth Care Center respectively for burglary.  Lockridge was located on 1/30/2020 by VIPER detectives and also charged with burglary.  No charges have yet been filed in relation to the incident that occurred on 1/17/2020 on SE First St. 

Both cases are ongoing investigations and anyone with information please contact the EPD detective office at 812-436-7979 or WeTip.
