Michael Robinson, 54, of Clearwater, Florida, was found dead in his home at 2691 Sabal Springs Circle on August 6, 2019. Officers determined his death was the result of a gunshot wound; detectives discovered Robinson while investigating a separate fatal shooting in Safety Harbor that occurred days earlier.

That earlier case began when 35-year-old John Clark called a friend in Illinois and confessed to killing his 64-year-old mother, Susan Clark. Deputies responding to 2360 Flanders Way found Susan Clark dead from a gunshot wound. John Clark was later seen driving his mother’s blue 2012 Volkswagen Eos; when deputies attempted to stop the vehicle he pointed a shotgun at them and deputies shot and killed him.

Detectives identified Robinson as an acquaintance of John Clark and say the connection between the two men remains unclear. Investigators have asked the public about the movements of the blue 2012 Volkswagen Eos in the Safety Harbor/Countryside area between 12:30 a.m. and 4:30 a.m. on August 3, 2019. If anyone has information about Robinson, John Clark, or the vehicle’s movements that night, please come forward.
