A Coatesville man was arrested after he allegedly arranged an armed robbery that led to the death of a Lincoln University student.
Police say Evander Wilson, 24, of Coatesville drove 22-year-old Christopher Robinson and a second victim to South 5th Avenue and Olive Street in Coatesville Saturday around 10:20 p.m. When they arrived, Robinson and the second victim were confronted by three masked men who began to rob them, according to investigators. During the robbery, one of the masked men opened fire, shooting Robinson in the neck. Robinson, a Philadelphia native and Lincoln University student, died from his injuries.
Police determined Wilson called the masked men ahead of time and arranged Robinson’s robbery. Wilson was arrested and charged with homicide, robbery, conspiracy and other related offenses.
It's unclear if Wilson has an attorney who could comment on the charges.
The investigation is ongoing. If you have any information please call Detective Sergeant Brandon Harris of the Coatesville Police Department at 610-384-2300 or Chester County Detective Robert Balchunis at 610-344-6866.
