Robert Gooch IV, 34, was shot and killed on the evening of January 8, 2019, at a Wawa convenience store in Chesterfield, Virginia, while with his 13-year-old daughter. Authorities described the shooting as a random act of violence; Gooch was shot multiple times, taken to a hospital, and died of his injuries. Accounts say his last actions were to tell his daughter to get down and call her grandfather.

The next day police identified and arrested 34-year-old George Thomas Buschmann after a vehicle chase ended with spike strips; the car he was driving had been reported stolen and officers found a shotgun and a rifle inside. Investigators said there had been no interaction or argument between Gooch and Buschmann before the shooting. Buschmann was charged with first-degree murder, use of a firearm in the commission of a felony, grand larceny of a motor vehicle, felony eluding, and two counts of illegal firearm possession. In a jailhouse interview he said he acted because he feared for his life; his sister said he had a diagnosis of schizophrenia and was not in treatment. In August 2019 a judge found Buschmann not guilty by reason of insanity and the Commonwealth’s Attorney said they would seek mental health treatment for him in a secure facility.

Does anyone have information about Robert Gooch’s last movements at the Wawa or about witnesses who were there that evening?
