SHEBOYGAN FALLS, Wis. — New evidence has emerged in the murder case against Luis Cruz Burgos, the man accused of killing 32-year-old Giovanni "Mike" Robinson from Ontario, Canada, in Sheboygan last fall.

Giovanni Michael Robinson
Family says Giovanni Michael Robinson (aka “Mike”) was the person shot and killed in downtown Sheboygan Falls. He was visiting from Canada for a golf trip when he was shot, according to his family.

“He was walking back to his hotel with his brother-in-law,” the family said.

The shooting occurred in the early morning hours of September 24th. Prosecutors allege Robinson and his group approached Cruz Burgos while he was working for DoorDash to negotiate a ride home.

When they couldn't agree on a price, the group walked away. Prosecutors claim Cruz Burgos then returned and shot and killed Robinson.
