'Shopping Cart Killer' May Be Charged In Prince George's County Woman's Death

PRINCE GEORGE'S COUNTY, MD — A possible sixth victim of a suspected serial predator dubbed the Shopping Cart Killer by police may be a Prince George's County woman, authorities said.

The Washington Post reported police are re-examining the 2018 death of a Maryland woman who suspect Anthony Eugene Robinson, 36, was engaged to marry. He has been charged with murder in two deaths, and is being investigated for links to three other women who were killed.

Skye Allen, 30, died on Valentine’s Day in 2018 when she and Robinson, who she planned to marry, were living with Allen’s mother in Glenarden, The Washington Post reported.

Stacey Allen told Prince George's County Police she found her daughter barely breathing in the bedroom the younger Allen shared with Robinson. Skye Allen died a short time later at an area hospital.

Her death was found to be caused by “fatal cardiac arrhythmia,” according to a copy of her death certificate obtained by The Post.

Prince George’s County police told the newspaper it will review the case, and the department was not notified of Allen's death in 2018.

Fairfax County Police in Virginia said they believe Robinson is linked to two badly decomposed bodies that were found on Dec. 15, 2021, in a large plastic container near a shopping cart in the Alexandria area. Police identified the victims as Cheyenne Brown, 29, of D.C., and Stephanie Harrison, 48, of Redding, California.

On Nov. 23, Harrisonburg, Virginia, police identified two victims in an open lot in the city's commercial district, according to Police Chief Kelley Warner. Police arrested Robinson, 35, in connection with the killings of Allene Elizabeth Redmon, 54, of Harrisonburg, and Tonita Lorice Smith, 39, Charlottesville, Virginia.

So far, Robinson has been charged in Harrisonburg with two counts of first-degree murder and two felony counts of concealing, transporting or altering a dead body in the killings of Redmon and Smith. He is accused of using a shopping cart to move the bodies of the two women in Harrisonburg.

A spokesperson with the Metropolitan Police Department told WTOP that Robinson is a person of interest in the death of Sonya Champ, 40, of Northwest. Champ was found by police around 11:30 a.m. Sept. 7, 2021, unconscious and unresponsive inside a shopping cart in the 200 block of F Street, Northeast.

The police believe the women were victims of a suspected serial killer dubbed the "shopping cart killer" because the person used shopping carts to move and dump murder victims' bodies in remote areas.

A judge in Virginia ruled Monday that a grand jury can proceed with considering first-degree murder charges against him in the deaths of Redmon and Smith, WUSA reported.

A Rockingham County grand jury indicted Robinson on five counts: two counts of first-degree murder, two counts of hiding the bodies of Redmon and Smith, and one count of aggravated murder of more than one person within three years, WTOP reported.
