Traxx Club Owner & Atlanta Black Gay Pride Organizer Durand Robinson Shot & Killed

Durand Robinson, Atlanta Black Gay Pride co-organizer and co-owner of the infamous Traxx nightclub, was shot in the chest and killed in Southwest Atlanta in the early morning hours on Wednesday (August 25th). The incident took place on Hadlock Street around 1:30 a.m.


According to Black Gay Gossip, Robinson had left a meeting with fellow Traxx board members held in Midtown about an hour before the shooting. Neither the meeting nor Robinson’s home was anywhere near where the shooting took place. Durand’s brother, Prince Robinson, was told his brother was accosted in the Greenbriar Mall and driven to Hadlock St. and thrown from the car. Police are investigating the matter to determine the motive for the shooting as well as to apprehend the perpetrators. No conclusions have been reached at this time.

As of now I believe the word is that this was a car jacking. For some strange reason, even though I was not there & don’t know the exact details, I believe it’s something more to it. That’s just my gut feeling.

The 14th Annual Atlanta Black Gay Pride Celebration will go on as scheduled this Labor Day Weekend, September 1-6.
