A Canadian man visiting Wisconsin for a golf trip was shot and killed in a drive-by shooting while walking back to his hotel, according to multiple local reports.
Police found the victim, Giovanni Michael “Mike” Robinson, 32, suffering from a gunshot wound around 12:08 a.m. local time on Wednesday in Sheboygan Falls, according to local police. Despite life-saving measures and medical attention, Robinson was pronounced dead at the scene.
Sources tell Global News that Robinson is originally from the town of Stouffville, Ont., and was a former player in the Ontario Hockey League.
Was probably targeted. Random drive bys aren’t a thing outside of specific cities but it’s a time honored way to wack a dude.
Random drive bys have never been much of a thing. They usually target a rival gang hangout hoping to get a gang member, or often just to stir up fear. But yeah, seems this guy pissed someone off.
Yeah I’ve heard of hitting “random” houses as initiation but they’re almost always not random if you look more than 5 seconds.
I wouldn’t rule out the possibility that they mistook him for someone else.
Or just caught in the crossfire.
Maybe they just hate golf.
random drive bys are a thing…? there have been several over the last couple decades. it’s not common, sure, but people do just randomly get killed by someone who wants to kill. this dude is not from the area and never visited. who would’ve targeted him? he lived in PA and was a Canadian citizen. the bar reported no issues between the group and anyone.
