Accused Babylon Cafe Shooter Charged With Murder: Police

WOODBRIDGE, VA — A man was arrested on Saturday and charged in connection with the shooting that killed one person outside of the Babylon Cafe last week. The suspect, Horace Gene Clark, was identified by detectives with the Prince William County Police Department's Homicide Unit.

At 12:17 a.m. on Thursday, officers responded to a report of a shooting at the Babylon Cafe, a hookah bar in Woodbridge. They found Kalin Javon Robinson suffering from a gunshot wound, according to a news release from the police department.

The responding officers provided first aid before rescue personnel arrived. Robinson was taken to a nearby hospital, where authorities said he died as a result of his injuries.

During their investigation, officers determined a group of people were gathered outside the cafe when shots were fired. Robinson was hit with multiple rounds as the other people in the group fled the area, police said.

The live entertainment permit for Baylon Cafe, located in the 3000 block of Golansky Boulevard in Woodbridge, was suspended "in response to the recent homicide and community safety concerns," the police department said Friday. This was the second shooting at the cafe this year.

On Saturday, authorities arrested Clark and charged him in connection with the shooting. Police alleged that Robinson was leaving the area when Clark shot him. The incident was not random, according to the police department.

Clark is charged with murder and the use of a firearm in commission of a felony. He is being held without bond, and his court date is pending.
