Ramone Robinson

How they died

Deadly force

According to police, three armed men announced a holdup at the Liquorland Party Store at around midnight. There were two employees and two customers in the store. One employee secretly triggered the store's silent alarm system, which alerted police. Two officers from the Sixth Precinct entered the building and said they saw a man holding a pistol to an employee's head, using him as a shield. The employee broke free, police said, and the officers told the man to drop his gun. The man allegedly pointed it toward the officers, who shot and killed him.
