Commanders star Brian Robinson’s 15-year-old shooter pleads guilty to wounding running back in botched August robbery AND killing a teenage boy in a separate incident weeks later
A teenager has pleaded guilty to shooting Washington Commanders running back Brian Robinson in August and killing a 15-year-old boy in the nation’s capital in the following weeks.
The shooter has not been identified publicly, but did admit in court that he and a 17-year-old friend tried to steal Robinson’s car on August 28. However, the 23-year-old Alabama product struggled with the 17-year-old, prompting the shooter – just 14 at the time – to fire two shots, striking Robinson in the knee and hip.
Fortunately, Robinson only suffered minor injuries and returned to action weeks later.
Since the Robinson shooting, a 15-year-old named Andre Robertson was fatally shot on a relative’s porch. Robinson’s shooter has also pleaded gilty to voluntary manslaughter in that case, the Washington Post reporters.
The 15-year-old shooter remains in Department of Youth Rehabilitation Services awaiting his sentencing on March 8.
