Robinson was shot in the head and killed before 12:10 a.m. on Nov. 15, 2008, in his home in the 14000 block of Liberal Avenue on Detroit’s east side.

According to Crime Stoppers, his wife returned home that night to find the front door open. She felt that something was wrong and called her uncle. When her uncle went into the home he found Robinson dead with a gunshot wound to the head.

“He was a lovable person. Everybody that he came in contact with loved him, you know. He’s very lovable, and helpful and kind. He had no enemies. That’s why I didn’t understand how could somebody just kill him like that,” his mother Evonne Robinson said. “He kept the family together.”
