On November 7, 2020, 23-year-old Mario Robinson of Austin, Texas, was shot and killed outside a Waffle House in Northeast Austin. Robinson and friends had been at a bar and went to the Waffle House to order food; while waiting in their cars an SUV arrived and two men, identified as Jalen Highsmith and Kelvin Robinson, got out armed and demanded the group’s belongings. When one of the group’s cars tried to drive away, Highsmith fired into the vehicle, fatally wounding Mario Robinson, a passenger. Emergency responders pronounced him dead at the scene.

The two suspects fled but were later arrested in Memphis, Tennessee, by the Lone Star Fugitive Task Force. Both were charged with capital murder; Kelvin Robinson later pleaded guilty and received a 26-year prison sentence, while Highsmith remained held in lieu of $1 million bail pending trial. The family established a GoFundMe to help with funeral costs and to remember Mario, who was described as having a distinct charm and charisma.
