Benetria Leshae Robinson, a 19-year-old from Ocala, Florida, was shot and killed on September 13, 2015, after an altercation at the Cloud 9 nightclub. She was struck in the head and shoulder and died at the scene; five other people were wounded in the same incident. Robinson had recently graduated from Forest High School, was attending Palm Beach State College on a basketball scholarship, and was studying criminal justice with hopes of becoming a homicide detective.

Prosecutors say the disturbance inside the club spilled into the parking lot, where the defendants produced firearms and fired about 21 rounds in roughly five seconds. Ballistics testing linked shell casings to three different guns. Laquan Barrow and Michael Eugene Smith were convicted of second-degree murder and multiple counts of attempted second-degree murder; Smith received a life sentence for Robinson’s killing. A third defendant, Gary Edward King, was awaiting a verdict at the time.

Were there witnesses or additional details from that night that could help clarify how the confrontation began?
