Michael Robinson, a 38-year-old African American man, was killed in a shootout in Miami on January 19, 2018. He was driving in Liberty City when he was caught in crossfire and fatally shot; the exchange was recorded on surveillance video showing bullets and bystanders fleeing.

A primary suspect identified in the footage was Alvin Little, 32, who was seen firing a weapon with his 3-year-old child beside him. Little said he acted in self-defense to protect himself and the child. He was arrested and charged with second-degree murder and child abuse; those charges were later dismissed at trial, but he was convicted of shooting a deadly missile and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. Sentencing is expected in the coming weeks.

Investigators concluded the shooting was linked to a broader local gang conflict; police interviewed witnesses and reviewed video as part of the probe. Robinson’s family described him as a loving father and hardworking provider who was killed while driving.

If anyone witnessed the shooting, knew Robinson, or has further information about the events that day, please come forward.
