Timothy Robert Lewis Goins, 19, of Fairmont, North Carolina, died on June 17, 2019, at McLeod Regional Medical Center in Florence, South Carolina, after being shot the day before at his home on Path Road. The shooting occurred on June 16, 2019; the Robeson County Sheriff’s Office received a call about the incident at approximately 1:47 p.m. A younger brother mistakenly shot Timothy with what he believed to be a BB gun. Timothy was transported to the hospital by a family member and later succumbed to his injuries.

In connection with the incident, Timothy’s father, Robert Lewis Goins Jr., was arrested and charged with failure to store a firearm to protect a minor and held on a $5,000 secured bond. Timothy is survived by his father, fiancée Courtney Lockley, five brothers, four sisters, and other family; he was preceded in death by two brothers, Robert Goins III and Landon Goins, and his maternal grandparents. His mother, Kristie King Goins, has been publicly advocating for firearm safety and seeking to add his name to a local Stop The Violence list.
