D.A. Charges Man With Attempted Homicide After He Shot At A Car

COATESVILLE, PA — A Coatesville man who fired a gun at a car is charged with attempted homicide and other felonies after an incident that the district attorney said showed disregard for life.

Zahfier Robinson, 25, of Coatesville, was charged with attempted criminal homicide, aggravated assault, possession of a weapon, and related charges after shooting at a victim’s car in Coatesville on March 19.

Court documents show Robinson is being held on $1 million bail.

Chester County District Attorney Deb Ryan said, "What started as an ordinary day for the Coatesville community dramatically evolved into a life-threatening situation because of the defendant's criminal conduct. So many things could have happened because of the bullets the defendant fired, and we are fortunate no one was killed or injured. The defendant will be held accountable in a court of law for his utter disregard of life."

A preliminary hearing is scheduled for March 31.

Chester County Detectives, City of Coatesville Police Department, and South Coatesville Police are investigating.

Anyone with information about this incident is asked to call Chester County Detectives at (610) 344-6866.
