Robyn Hale, 27, was shot and killed at her Grebe Street home in Baton Rouge in the early hours of January 11, 2017. The shooting occurred around midnight after she answered a knock at the door; her three children, all under ten, were inside the house. Hale was taken to a local hospital where she died of her injuries.

Police investigation led to her ex-boyfriend and the father of two of the children, Robert Williams, who was arrested and booked into the East Baton Rouge Parish jail on a charge of principal to second-degree murder. Investigators say a 911 call and statements from the children pointed to Williams; in a forensic interview the children said their father was present with another person they called the bad guy, who shot their mother. Court records referenced prior domestic trouble and a December 2016 domestic abuse battery arrest involving Hale and Williams.

Anyone who knew Robyn or has information about that night is asked to come forward.
