Christopher M. Robinson Jr., a 40-year-old Black man, was critically wounded by gunfire in the early morning hours of March 2, 2026, while in the emergency department lobby at Aurora Sinai Medical Center in Milwaukee. He had gone to the hospital for hip pain accompanied by his mother and girlfriend. Initial medical examiner reports mistakenly said he died March 2, but Robinson remained on life support, was transferred to Froedtert Hospital and was removed from life support and pronounced dead on March 7. He left five children.

Investigators identified Ronnell Dwayne Shaw Jr. as the person accused of the shooting. According to the criminal complaint, Shaw brought a firearm into the hospital, briefly left it in an outdoor trash can, returned for it, came back in a wheelchair, and surveillance footage reportedly shows him rolling up behind Robinson and firing three shots; two struck Robinson’s head and a third grazed another patient, Sharone Wrencher, in the abdomen. Officers who were already in the hospital for an unrelated medical assignment encountered Shaw, ordered him to the ground and recovered a handgun.

Did anyone in the Milwaukee area see or hear anything in the lobby of Aurora Sinai that night or know more about how the firearm was able to enter the emergency department?
