LLOYD ROBINSON JR. - 13 yo -(2009) Daytona Beach FL

A 13-year-old boy died in Daytona Beach this morning after a man shot him in the face through a sliding glass door.

The suspect also fired the gun at the boy's father, grazing him on the arm.

The boy, identified by police as Lloyd Robinson Jr., died at the scene.
Rescue crews transported his father, Lloyd Robinson, to Halifax Health
Medical Center in Daytona Beach. His injury is non-life-threatening,
police said.

Preliminary reports show the boy and his father were visiting from Atlanta.

Daytona Beach police spokesman Jimmie Flynt said a man and woman
knocked on the sliding glass door of a home in the 200 block of Graham
Street at 4:22 a.m.

The female suspect told residents she was looking for someone at that
address. The residents told her that person did not live at the house.
At some point, the other suspect, came around a brick wall and fired
two rounds through the sliding glass door.

One bullet struck the boy in the face, killing him. The other bullet grazed his father.

Both suspects fled the scene.

Investigators said the female suspect had been wearing an orange and
yellow T-shirt and black pants. The male suspect is described between
the ages of 25 and 35, wearing a black shirt and shorts and his hair in
dreadlocks.

A 13-year-old from Atlanta was murdered while visiting family in
Florida. Police said the boy was shot in the face early Monday morning
by someone lurking around his family's home. Thirteen-year-old
Lloyd Robinson, Jr. had just finished 7th grade and was spending the
summer with his dad before heading back to school. "It's just a
total period of pain for me and I wish this on nobody. I fear burying
my kids and I am making funeral arrangements for my son and I shouldn't
be," said the teen's father, Lloyd Robinson, Sr. Daytona Beach
police said there was a knock on the door at the Robinson's home just
after 4:00 a.m. A woman asked for someone who wasn't there and the
teen's father told the woman to go around to the glass door. When
Robinson, Sr. tired to open the door a man came around the side of the
house and fired two shots inside. One bullet grazed Robinson, Sr., the other one killed his son. "It's very sad they would come into a house and shoot and kill nothing but a child," said Martha Hamilton. Robinson
Sr. said he is a registered sex offender and it is possible someone
went after him because of those charges, but he said it was probably a
case of mistaken identity. Police said there was no motive in the case. Chief
Michael Chitwood said he was pretty sure that it wasn't a random
shooting, and the woman and the shooter were looking for Robinson, Sr.,
but killed his son instead. The teen's mother drove from Atlanta
to Daytona Beach Monday. The teen was originally supposed to return to
Atlanta Sunday morning, but decided to stay a little longer.

The search is on in Volusia County for the suspects who shot and killed a teen early Monday.The
victim, Lloyd Robinson Jr., 13, of Atlanta was visiting his father for
the summer when he answered a knock on the door at a home on Graham
Street. He was shot in the face.Police said a woman knocked on the door looking for someone shortly before 4:30 a.m. Monday.Robinson,
Jr. told the woman the person she was looking for did not live there.
The boy’s father, Lloyd Robinson, Sr. then came to the door and told
the woman the same thing.Police said when the elder Robinson
appeared, a man came from around the side of the house and fired two
shots through the sliding glass door, hitting the teen in the face and
grazing the father in the arm.Daytona Beach Police Chief Mike Chitwood was blunt when describing the investigation."There's
very little physical evidence and I know in my heart of hearts there's
people in this community that know exactly what happened," Chitwood
said. "They need to come forward because at the end of the day
13-year-old kids should not die like this."Robinson, Sr. said he hopes police will find his son's killer."I'm
not even 50 percent certain I can say who it was and I want the public
to be cooperative and let the police officers and detectives handle
it," Robisnon Sr. said. "They seem like swell guys to me and to try and
do what they can."The teen, known affectionately by his family as Poochie, died later from his injuries. He was to return to Atlanta.Police said they are still looking for the two suspects.The
shooter was described as a black man between ages 24 and 35, with
dreadlocks. He was last seen wearing a black shirt and black shorts.The woman was described as a black female of unknown age, wearing an orange and yellow shirt and black pants.

Investigators in Daytona Beach say they're frustrated with the case of
a murdered 13-year-old boy because the father keeps changing his story.

In the wake of the early morning shooting death of Lloyd Robinson Jr.
on Monday, police later said they arrested the 16-year-old son of the
father's girlfriend on a drug-related arrest warrant. The Orlando
Sentinel is not publishing the teenager's name because he is a minor.

It is unclear if the arrest is connected to the slaying, but police said the shooting was not random.

Daytona Beach Police Chief Mike Chitwood said the victim's father,
Lloyd Robinson, 38, gave investigators a false name for the suspect and
also a bad description.

"Someone else holds the keys and we need to unlock this investigation," Chitwood said of the victim's father.

Prison records show Robinson spent four years in a Jackson County
prison on charges of lewd and lascivious assault on a child under 16,
possession of cocaine and weapon charges.

Officers said a man shot Robinson's son through a sliding glass door in
the 200 block of Graham Street at 4:20 a.m. One bullet struck the
teenager in the face, killing him. Another bullet grazed the father.

Officers are searching for the gunman and another suspect who fled the neighborhood in a vehicle after the shooting.

Investigators said the female suspect had been wearing an orange and
yellow T-shirt and black pants. The male suspect is between the ages of
25 and 35, wearing a black shirt and shorts and his hair in dreadlocks.

Police reports show the father's girlfriend and two other children,
including the 16-year-old arrested on drug charges, were at the house
at the time of the shooting.

Police spokesman Jimmie Flynt said the father recognized the man but didn't know his name. He didn't know the woman, Flynt said.

It was the 5th murder in Daytona Beach this year, records show.

After the shooting, neighbors recalled hearing the boy's father yell, "They just killed my son!"

The family of the slain boy spent most of the morning picking up shards
of glass and cleaning blood from the floor. The boy's mother, Veronica
Belton, flew to Florida from Atlanta.

Most of the residents have made this lower-income community their home
for the last 40 years. They are shocked and saddened by the teenager's
fatal shooting.

Many remember seeing the boy and his siblings playing outside of their plain cream-colored house.

"That's the shock. I can't figure it out," neighbor Chris Johnson said. "They didn't bother no one."

"I feel bad someone killed his son. It hurts me," resident Gloria Paris said. "It just as easily could have been me."

Family members said the boy, originally from Atlanta, was in Daytona Beach visiting his father.

"At first, I didn't understand what was happening," resident Christine
White said. "When the ambulance drove up, it started to sink in."

White said she heard a child crying and screaming, "Momma! Momma!"

The father of a boy shot to death on Monday is being questioned again in the hope that he can help police find the killer.

Lloyd Robinson Jr., 13, was gunned down at the home of his father's
girlfriend as other family members slept, Daytona Beach police Chief
Mike Chitwood said. A bullet grazed Lloyd Robinson Sr., 38, on the
shoulder.

Robinson Sr. initially identified a man named "Mario" as the shooter
but later retracted the statement when confronted with conflicting
evidence, Chitwood said. Mario, whose last name was not released, came
to the police station with his mother, said he hadn't committed the
crime and offered to talk to detectives.

Chitwood said officers don't think Robinson Sr., who has a warrant for
his arrest on drug charges out of Georgia, has been forthcoming with
detectives. Robinson's criminal record includes two stints in prison in
the 1990s on attempted lewd, lascivious or indecent assault on a child,
aggravated battery and aggravated assault convctions in Volusia County.

"It makes me wonder if he's being 100 percent honest with us," Chitwood said.

Detectives are sifting through a dozen phone tips, trying to prepare a
sketch of a woman who lured Robinson and son to the sliding-glass doors
where they were shot and hoping someone with information contacts
police.

"We're hoping that somebody out there is absolutely appalled by this
and comes forward," Chitwood said. "There's absolutely no reason that
young man should have been killed."

Lloyd Jr. was visiting his father from Georgia
when he was shot, Chitwood said. His mother was supposed to pick him up
on Sunday, but the family decided to let the boy stay longer, he said.

Composite Sketch Released In Teen’s Death

Reported By Jacqueline Fell

DAYTONA BEACH -- Police have released a composite sketch of one of the two people involved in the fatal shooting of a teen boy.




The boy's father spoke to investigators Tuesday afternoon after the city's police chief criticized him for not cooperating with the investigation.
Lloyd Robinson, Jr., known by family as “Lil Poochie,” was visiting Daytona Beach. He lived in Georgia with his mother Vicki.
Vicki arrived in Daytona Beach Monday night. Friends told News 13 she's surrounded by friends and family but is taking medication to help her cope.
A close friend said Vicki thinks her son’s killers will be caught.
"Kids is our tomorrow. I really hate what happened I really do," said Joyce Jones, a neighbor.

Jones is one of people who are upset about the untimely death of Robinson, Jr. He was shot in the face Monday when he and his father answered the door around 4:30 a.m.
A man hiding shot two bullets through the glass door. One hit and killed the teenager.
Police felt confident in their investigation Monday. They now say people, such as Lloyd's father, Lloyd Robinson Sr., is telling a different story.
News 13 has also learned a 16-year-old living in the same house was arrested Monday on drug charges. However, there's no indication it's related to the shooting.
Neighbors told News 13 they have a hard time believing this was a random act. They also said if anyone knows anything, now is not the time to stay mum.
“If they sorry it happened or it was an accident, you know, people forgive. So just come on let them know you was at the wrong house,” Jones said.

“If they know, they should tell the police. They should get him because that's a serious thing that could happen to anybody,” said Stanley Robinson, a neighbor.

Police are also hoping to get information. They’ve set up this mobile command center in the middle of the neighborhood hoping someone will walk over with a tip that could lead to an arrest.
But until arrests are made, neighbors said Lloyd is a life lost too early on.
Anyone with information is asked to call Daytona Beach police.

Exclusive: Mother Of Gunned Down Teen Speaks


Services Held For Robinson Jr., 13


POSTED: 6:50 am EDT July 21, 2009
UPDATED: 5:17 pm EDT July 22, 2009



DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. -- A mother speaks exclusively to WESH 2 News about the lose of her 13-year-old son who was gunned down in Daytona Beach earlier this week.
"My baby, he loved his mom and he loved his daddy to death. He loved his daddy and he loved his mama," the victim's mother, Veronica Belton, said.

Veronica Belton

Funeral services were held for Lloyd Robinson Jr., 13, at the Pentecostal Church of God in Christ in Daytona Beach where family and friends gathered to say goodbye to the boy.
Meanwhile, police went door-to-door with a composite sketch of a woman they said signaled th shooter to open fire on a Daytona Beach home, killing the teenager.

"Loved football, loved girls, loved the music, loved to dance, smile, always put a smile. He's just the type of kid that when you met him, you couldn't do nothing but love him. I can't really say nothing more," the victim's aunt Angela Robinson said.
Earlier Tuesday, Daytona Beach Police Chief Mike Chitwood claimed that the boy's father's lifestyle is what caused his son to be killed.

Lloyd Robinson Jr.

Chitwood said Lloyd Robinson Sr. is involved with drugs, and that his son was just an innocent bystander when he was fatally shot Monday.
Investigators said a man and woman showed up at the home of Robinson's father on Grand Street just after 4 a.m. Monday looking for someone. The man pulled out a gun and shot through the sliding glass door, hitting the boy in the face. Police said they believe the bullet was meant for the boy's father, who was standing next to his son.
A bullet grazed Robinson's arm. He gave a name to the police, but the investigators said the man was cleared after questioning.
Robinson Sr., 38, said Monday that in the hours after the killing of his visiting 13-year-old son, that he didn't know who opened fire outside his door. He backed off of one name he gave police and threw out a few other scenarios.
"Maybe mistaken identity. Maybe they thought I was someone else. Maybe past life's problems that I've had," Robinson Sr. said.
Those past problems include drug convictions but Chitwood told WESH 2 Tuesday that he doesn't think Robinson Sr.'s problems are all in the past. He thinks the father is "a player" and is refusing to tell police the truth -- that his son was killed by someone in the drug trade coming after his father. Yet Robinson Sr. repeatedly denied knowing the man who opened fire or the woman who first came to the door to get his attention.
"We want to know who came to the doors, who tried to get my brother out the house. Who was talking to my nephew saying, 'You know me.' We want to know who you are. Turn yourself in before we find out who you are. And may the Lord be with you," the victim's aunt Jennifer Smith said. "Regardless of what my brother has done, the children should not have to pay. Turn yourself in before the family finds you."
Belton cried in her mother's arms Wednesday at the funeral service.
"If they know who did it. If anybody knows who did this, please tell," Belton said.
"She's saying if anyone knows who did this, please let the police know because that would give her closure. Somebody out there knows something. Oh they know, but right now we're going to focus on Pucci going home to the Lord and Vicki, we're taking care of her," the victim's grandmother Alice Belton Terrell said.

As dozens of mourners
streamed out of a tiny church Wednesday after honoring a murdered
13-year-old boy, the child's aunt warned the killer and his accomplice
to surrender before the teen's family finds them.

Smith

Jennifer Smith issued the warning after the
open-casket funeral service of Lloyd Robinson Jr. The boy was slain
Monday morning when a man fired two bullets through a sliding glass
door at the home on Graham Street."We're trying to make sense
out of all of this," Smith said. "But, for the woman who came to the
house, you need to turn yourself in."I'm begging you; please
turn yourself in before the family finds you," Smith said, her voice
rising slightly. "And for the killer, you need to be a man and come
forward."Lloyd Jr., who lived in Stone Mountain, Ga., was
visiting his dad, Lloyd Robinson Sr., for the summer. He was supposed
to leave Sunday but his mother decided to let him stay a few more days,
some family members have said.On Monday about 4 a.m. a woman
showed up at Robinson's house on Graham, police said. A woman knocked
on all the windows until Lloyd Jr. -- affectionately known as "Lil
Poochi" -- and another child in the residence woke up and went to a
sliding glass door on the side of the house. The woman asked them
repeatedly, "'Don't you know me?"When Robinson came to the door,
he spoke to the stranger momentarily. When he attempted to open the
sliding glass door to get a better look, a man came out of the shadows
and fired his weapon through the glass, striking the boy once in the
chin and grazing Robinson in the left shoulder, police say.Police
Chief Mike Chitwood said Robinson insists he doesn't know the woman or
the shooter. The chief said the 38-year-old Robinson told him the woman
"looked like she was on crack."Tuesday afternoon, Robinson gave
detectives a description of the woman for a composite sketch. The
picture has elicited various tips for police, Chitwood said in an
e-mail Wednesday.The day of the shooting, Chitwood said he
believed Robinson was targeted by the killer and the mystery woman.
Robinson has a criminal past and has served time in prison. He is
currently wanted in Georgia on a narcotics charge, Chitwood said this
week.Smith said that regardless of what her brother had done in the past, a child was murdered in the aftermath.Wednesday
afternoon, a minister's rousing sermon elicited responses from the many
people -- young and old -- who attended Lloyd Jr.'s funeral. The
service was standing room only, and for those sitting on front porches
and stoops along Caroline and Avery streets, the speaker's booming
voice echoed through the church's open doors.Dressed in a gold shirt and matching pants, Robinson stood over the casket, stroking his son on the head and chest.Outside,
under a sweltering sun, the child's mother, Veronica Belton, collapsed
in her own mother's arms as she spoke about the teenager."My
baby loved his mama," Belton said, her voice barely audible. "Lloyd and
I had agreed that once he turned 13, he (Robinson) would take over."Belton's
mother, Alice Belton Terrell, reminisced about driving down West
International Speedway Boulevard with Lloyd Jr. and the two of them
singing songs playing on the radio. She said the youngster's favorite
tune was, "I Go Out Walkin' After Midnight."Without discussing
her theory concerning a motive for the shooting, Terrell said her one
hope is that "our community learns from this. There's more to life than
just revenge."

Police said they are making headway in the search for the people who fatally shot a teenager to death in Daytona Beach.Investigators
said a man and a woman showed up at the home of Lloyd Robinson on Grand
Street just after 4 a.m. Monday looking for someone. The man pulled out
a gun and shot through the sliding glass door, hitting 13-year-old
Lloyd Robinson Jr. in the face. Police said they believe the bullet was
meant for the boy's father, who was standing next to his son.Sources
only told WESH 2 News Thursday night that investigators are hopeful
about DNA from the scene where a 13-year-old was shot and killed.The new evidence and new interviews with the boy's father have police optimistic that they could soon find a killer.At
the beginning of the investigation, Daytona Beach police said they
believed Lloyd Robinson Sr. was withholding information about his
13-year-old son's slaying. Now, they said he's talking to them."We've
had four hours or so hours of long conversations about a lot of
different things," said Bill Rhodes, of the Daytona Beach Police
Department.Robinson also talked to WESH 2 News about his interview."If
they come to me asking something, my son got killed, I have to tell
them what they ask," he said. "And if I know it, I have to be
straightforward and tell the truth on it. I, myself, want to see these
guys go to jail."Rhodes said Robinson's credibility is good."He has given information that is probably going to be helpful in this case," Rhodes said.Robinson
helped police create a composite sketch of the woman he said knocked on
his sliding glass door early Monday morning. Seconds later is when
police said a man fired a fatal shot hitting Lloyd Robinson Jr."I think it's just a random act, because I don't have friends like that," Robinson said.Police
have said though that they think the elder Robinson was targeted.
Sources told WESH 2 News that police have a DNA lead from the crime
scene."I don't know if there's DNA," Rhodes said.Police
are not confirming if they have a hit to anyone, but that could lead to
an arrest soon. Detectives said they're not letting this turn into a
cold case."We're following up on every lead," Rhodes said. "We've developed probably three or four solid leads from our composite.""They took a good child from me, a loving father," Robinson said. "No parent should go through this."Daytona
Beach police said they have eight detectives working this case. They
said the key is finding the woman knocking on the door, and they
believe that will lead them to the teenager's killer.Funeral services for Lloyd Robinson Jr. were held at the Pentecostal Church of God in Christ in Daytona on Wednesday.

The Daytona Beach Police Foundation announced a $10,000 reward for
anyone who could provide a tip leading to the arrest and conviction of
whoever killed a 13-year-old boy.The reward was announced during a news conference Wednesday morning.During
the news conference, Lloyd Robinson Sr. said he and his family fear for
their lives after his son, Lloyd Robinson Jr., was shot and killed last
week.Robinson Jr. was shot through a glass door in his father's home.Robinson
Sr. said he thinks he was targeted. He did not discuss specifics, but
he said the two people who came to his door were there to commit a
robbery.Police said they disagree with Robinson Sr.'s theory. They believe the shooter intended to kill Robinson Sr.Police
said they have new information that leads them to believe people knew
about this crime before and after it happened. They have offered to
relocate and protect the person who turns the shooter in.Police said the family is fully cooperating in the investigation.This is the first time the Daytona Beach Police Foundation has offered a cash reward.

A $10,000 reward is being
offered for information that leads to the killer of a 13-year-old boy,
and authorities will help relocate the tipster if there is a fear for
safety, said Police Chief Mike Chitwood."There's a lot of people out
there that knew what was going to happen before it happened and then,
after it happened," Chitwood said Wednesday. "The father was absolutely
the target and whoever did this came to that house specifically for
something."At a press conference Wednesday to announce the
reward, Chitwood, along with Mayor Glenn Ritchey and Bishop Derek
Triplett, decried the senselessness of shooting a child."This
cannot be allowed in our community," Ritchey said. "This is absolutely
an atrocious event that never should have happened."Members of
Lloyd Jr.'s family began crying when Triplett, pastor of Hope
Fellowship Church, said the teen would never attend college, would
"never be a husband," and would "never be a father."The boy's
father, Lloyd Robinson Sr., and his relatives begged the public to come
forward and solve the mystery. The elder Robinson, 38, said he and his
family are living in fear."I can't sleep at night," Robinson
said, flanked by relatives who all wore identical T-shirts adorned with
a picture of the slain boy. "We want justice. We don't know who these
people are."Lloyd Jr. was shot on July 20 just after 4 a.m. at
his father's house on Graham Street. The youngster was visiting from
Stone Mountain, Ga., and was supposed to have left the day before, but
his mother decided he could stay a few more days, family members said.That
morning, a woman showed up at Robinson's house at the 200 block of
Graham, police said. The stranger knocked on all the windows until
Lloyd Jr. and another child in the residence woke up and went to a
sliding glass door on the side of the house. The woman asked them
repeatedly, "Don't you know me?"When the father attempted to
open the sliding glass door to get a better look at the woman, a man
came out of the shadows and fired his weapon through the glass,
striking the boy once in the chin and grazing Robinson Sr. in the left
shoulder.Regardless of whether Robinson knows the shooter, the chief maintained that the father was the killer's intended target.The
chief said law enforcement officials are willing to relocate any
tipster who comes forward and whose information leads to the arrest and
conviction of the suspect. Chitwood said he realizes there may be
someone out there who knows what happened, but is afraid to divulge
information for fear of retaliation.The $10,000 will come from
drug forfeiture funds and be donated to the department's police
foundation for the specific purpose of the reward, Chitwood said.The
chief had initially said Robinson was not being forthcoming concerning
the shooting, but Wednesday he said the father spoke to investigators
after the boy's funeral and "put his cards on the table." He would not
elaborate.Robinson, who has served time in prison, acknowledged
his criminal past, but said he served his time. He also said his son's
death has forced him to re-evaluate who he "hangs out with."Last
week, investigators released a composite sketch of the young woman who
knocked on Robinson's windows. Chitwood said detectives have received
at least 50 calls concerning the female, but none have panned out.Anyone with information is asked to call 386-671-5100, , or text a message beginning with DBTIPS to 274637 (CRIMES).

Suspects indicted in murder of 13-year-old Daytona boy

Tarod Weaver and Ronald Roscoe, both 21, were indicted on first-degree felony murder charges. (Daytona Beach Police)

Two men have been indicted on first-degree felony murder charges in the June shooting death of a 13-year-old boy in Daytona Beach.

Tarod Lovell Weaver and Ronald David Roscoe, both 21, were arrested and charged with first-degree felony murder, attempted home invasion robbery with a firearm and conspiracy in the June 20 shooting death of Lloyd Robinson Jr.

The spokesman for the State Attorney's Office in Volusia County could not release information about any other indictments until someone is in custody.

However, Daytona Beach police say that Carine Doctor, 26; Ervin Shipman, 21; and Tyrone Ward, 32, were also indicted on the same charges. Those three have have not been arrested, according to police.

Robinson was shot through a sliding glass door in the 200 block of Graham Street early on June 20. One bullet struck the teenager in the face, killing him. Another bullet grazed his father, Lloyd Robinson Sr.

Police believe Doctor lured the boy and his father to the door

Suspect named in boy's death

Police: Shooting was robbery gone bad

DAYTONA BEACH -- The man accused of shooting and killing a 13-year-old boy during a robbery scheme that went terribly wrong was identified in police reports obtained Thursday.
Seventh-grader Lloyd Robinson Jr. was shot to death the morning of July 20 at the residence of his father, Lloyd Robinson. The youngster, who lived in Stone Mountain, Ga., with his mother but was here for the summer, died after a bullet struck him in the chin, investigators said.
Although Police Chief Mike Chitwood has said the case was "cleared by arrest," he would not divulge the identity of the shooter and details of the incident.
According to the arrest reports obtained Thursday, one of the men now in custody -- 21-year-old Ronald David Roscoe of Daytona Beach -- was the shooter who fired two slugs into Robinson's Graham Street house early that morning. The other man arrested and also charged with first-degree murder, is Tarod Lovell Weaver of Edgewater, also 21.
The two men were indicted on first-degree felony murder charges earlier this week.
The idea, according to Weaver, was to fire two shots as a signal alerting Weaver and three other suspects at the scene to enter Robinson's home to rob him of cash and drugs, the report states.
The plan backfired when the suspects were unable to get into the house after the shots were fired, the report shows. Three other suspects -- Carine Doctor, Ervin Dale Shipman and Tyrone Terrell Ward -- are still on the run, police have said; warrants have been issued for their arrest. Doctor is a Daytona Beach resident; hometowns for Shipman and Ward have not been released.
It was about 4 a.m. when Lloyd Jr. and another child at the house at 214 Graham, were awakened by someone knocking on the windows. The children saw a woman standing outside the house, and they woke Robinson Sr., who motioned for the woman -- identified as Doctor by police -- to walk around to the sliding glass door so he could get a better look at her, the report states.
Robinson Sr. told Doctor that he did not know her, but she insisted he did. He told her to leave and walked away, but she continued banging on the glass door, the report shows. When Robinson Sr. opened the door about 5 to 7 inches to again talk with Doctor, she looked toward the driveway and a man -- identified as Roscoe -- appeared with a gun and fired two shots into the house, the report states. One bullet grazed Robinson Sr. on the left shoulder; the second slug hit his son on the chin.
Weaver told detectives the two gunshots were the signal for him and the others to enter the house and rob Robinson of cash and "weed," the report states. Doctor's job was to lure the elder Robinson to the door, Weaver told police. The suspect said he and the others parked their vehicle in a lot just west of the Robinson house, and jumped a fence to get onto his property, the report states. Weaver said the heist was planned at Doctor's apartment at 603 Roma St.
The plan soured when the suspects were unable to get into the house because the sliding glass door would not roll farther back, police have said. Roscoe and Doctor then ran from the property, as did Weaver, the report states. Weaver said Roscoe later told everyone "to keep quiet about the incident," according to the report.
On Aug. 5, Roscoe and Weaver were arrested on Jean Street during a traffic stop intended for Roscoe, police said. Officers found a scale, cash and a handgun in the vehicle, Chitwood said recently. Police will not say whether the weapon, a .357-caliber Magnum Ruger revolver, was the one used in the crime.

Daytona Beach Police this morning have arrested a suspected conspirator in the murder of a 13-year-old boy in July, a newspaper said.

Carine Doctor, 26, Daytona Beach, was arrested just after 9:30 a.m. at a house on Washington Street.

Police said Doctor was the woman who, during a planned robbery, drew Lloyd Robinson and his son Lloyd Robinson Jr. to a sliding-glass door at the father's Graham Street home after awakening them at 4 a.m. July 20, the newspaper said.

There was a major arrest Wednesday in
the murder of teenager. Detectives say they caught the woman who lured
the 13-year-old Daytona Beach boy to his death.Detectives
believe 26-year-old Carine Doctor knocked on the door, which brought
the young victim into the line of fire in July. It was then that,
investigators say, Ronald Roscoe started shooting. He's already been
arrested.
Doctor was found hiding not far from where the brutal crime unfolded.
If you walk through the backyard of the home where police discovered
Doctor on Wednesday morning, you will run into the home where Lloyd
Robinson lived, the father of the young boy who was killed.Doctor spent nearly two months on the run, only to come right back to Daytona Beach where she was captured by police.At
one point, the 26-year-old shouted she was not guilty as she was led
away in cuffs Wednesday and said no one knew what she was going
through. She's now facing first-degree murder charges.Police say
Doctor was the one who knocked on the windows of a Graham Street home
in July. It was supposed to be a home invasion robbery; her job was to
lure people inside to the door."She signals her boyfriend and
another player in this to come forward. And then shots ring out and
Lloyd Robinson Jr. is struck and then they flee," Daytona Beach Police
Chief Mike Chitwood said.The police chief got an anonymous phone call Wednesday morning telling him Doctor was in a home on Washington Street."They
were greeted by her. She told us she was glad it was over, there was
some stuff she wanted to get off her chest," Chitwood explained.Doctor
later told police she had no idea anyone would be shot and actually
wanted to press charges against her accomplices for firing a gun too
close to her head.Ronald Roscoe and Tarod Weaver were captured
last month and have pled not guilty. Ervin Shipman and Tyrone Ward are
still on the run and police said they may be out of the state.Despite
the proximity of the home where Doctor was found and the home where
Lloyd Robinson lived, police said Robinson maintains he did not know
anyone involved. He has moved out of the neighborhood since the
shooting.

A fourth person was arrested today in the shooting death of a 13-year-old boy in Daytona Beach.

Tyrone Ward, 32, was arrested at a home in DeLand about 6 p.m. with help from the Florida Department of Law Enforcement, the U.S. Marshals Service fugitive task force, the Volusia County Sheriff's Office and Daytona Beach police.

Ward was wanted on a murder charge in the July 20 killing of Lloyd Robinson Jr., who was visiting his father from Atlanta. Lloyd was shot through a sliding-glass door at his father's girlfriend's home.

A bullet grazed Lloyd Robinson Sr., who later said he had been targeted by someone trying to rob him. His son's death was not intentional, Robinson said at a news conference about a week after the killing.

Indictments were announced last month against Tarod Lovell Weaver and Ronald David Roscoe on charges of first-degree felony murder, attempted home-invasion robbery with a firearm and conspiracy.

The last suspect, Erwin Shipman has not been caught.

Police in Seminole County said they've made the fifth and final arrest in the slaying of a 13-year-old boy.
Lloyd Robinson Jr., 13, was shot and killed during a home invasion in Daytona Beach in July.
A Seminole County Sheriff's Office representative said that the Sanford Police Department arrested a man who identified himself as Michael Shipman on Friday. He was charged with stealing a car, fleeing and eluding arrest and having a concealed firearm.
Police said that Shipman was actually Erwin Shipman, but he had given Sanford police his brother's name.
Officers figured out the mix-up on Saturday.
Erwin Shipman has been charged in connection with the fatal attack on the 13-year-old.
Tyrone Ward, Carine Doctor, Ronald Roscoe and Tarod Weaver have already been charged in the slaying.

Suspect pleaded not guilty

The last suspect arrested in the murder of a 13-year-old boy in Daytona Beach pleaded not guilty at a recent arraignment. Ervin Shipman had to be extradited out of Seminole County where he was arrested so his arraignment was delayed. Shipman and four others are accused of killing Lloyd Robinson Jr. last summer.

Jury Finds 2 Guilty In 13-Year-Old's Death

Updated: 5:34 pm EST February 1, 2011

VOLUSIA COUNTY, Fla. -- A jury found two people guilty Tuesday, of killing a 13-year-old boy.

Carine Doctor and Ronald Roscoe were found guilty on all counts for killing Lloyd Robinson Jr., when he answered a knock at the door of his father's home. He was shot and killed.

Doctor and Roscoe testified that on an early July morning 18 months ago, they were just looking to buy drugs in Daytona Beach. But prosecutors made the case that, when they picked out the house on Graham Street, they were part of a group willing to kill for drugs.

That's what happened, the state said, when Lloyd Robinson Sr. and his son answered the door at their home.

"During that failed attempt, a man was shot and his son was killed," Assistant State Attorney Ed Davis told the court.

Robinson Jr.'s family watched anxiously Tuesday as prosecutors made their final case that even people who didn't fire the bullet that killed Robinson Jr. were responsible for his death and should be put away for life.

"This group was prepared to go in a house, whether people were there or not," Davis said.

But with the group of five people charged all turning on each other, telling different stories, admitting drug use and past crimes, defense attorneys seized on the chance that jurors might believe Doctor and Roscoe weren't intending to rob the home at all costs.

Roscoe and Doctor were found guilty of first-degree murder.

Couple who killed teen receive life sentences
February 17, 2011
DAYTONA BEACH -- Moments before he was sentenced to life in prison by a judge, the man who shot a 13-year-old boy to death in a botched home invasion robbery apologized to the child's father in a hushed courtroom.

In a halting voice that was sometimes barely audible, 22-year-old Ronald Roscoe told Lloyd Robinson Sr. he was sorry for what had happened to Lloyd Robinson Jr. the morning of July 20, 2009.

Moments later, for what Circuit Judge J. David Walsh called "an extremely tragic and senseless crime," Roscoe and his 28-year-old girlfriend Carine Doctor-- in separate hearings -- were sentenced to spend the rest of their lives in prison without the possibility of parole. The life sentences were for their roles in the shooting death of the eighth-grader from Georgia who had come here to spend the summer with his father at his home on Graham Street.

The pair also were convicted of attempted home invasion robbery with a weapon and conspiracy to commit murder. Roscoe and Doctor received 15-year sentences for each of those two charges.

When the sentences were announced by Walsh, Robinson Sr.'s girlfriend Tina Hamilton acknowledged each by motioning with her hand, as if grateful.

But when Roscoe expressed his regret, no one in the courtroom stirred.

When he told his attorney he wanted to speak, Roscoe requested he be allowed to face Robinson Sr. directly. But Walsh nixed that, saying: "He can't face the family. He has to face me."

"From the bottom of my heart, I'm truly sorry for all the hurt and pain I've caused in your lives," Roscoe said. "I accept the responsibility for my actions."

Roscoe also said that when he learned who he had shot that morning, "there was a void within myself."

As a teenager, Roscoe lived with Robinson Jr. and the victim's mother for a short time. He had spent time with Robinson Jr., according to trial testimony.

When Robinson Sr. -- who wore a red T-shirt with his son's name on the back, and the word "redemption" and two angels on the front -- testified he looked squarely at Roscoe and told him to pray.

"The pain we have endured throughout this time has been unbearable," he said. "I pray to God to forgive him (Roscoe), but I can't at this time.

"I took care of you for the little time you stayed with my son and his mother. I hope you straighten out your life. Tell your story. Tell Lloyd Robinson Jr.'s story," Robinson Sr. said to Roscoe.

As Robinson Sr. spoke, Hamilton cried, as did other friends and relatives of the Robinson family.

When Doctor emerged for her sentencing hearing, though, the atmosphere in the courtroom shifted. Where Roscoe had been humble and apologetic, Doctor was silent.

When Robinson Sr. addressed her, he mentioned Doctor's 3-year-old daughter -- who was in the courtroom with Doctor's mother -- would become a "motherless child."

That statement prompted one of Robinson's relatives to turn around in the courtroom and mutter something toward the toddler. That enraged Doctor's relatives.

After the hearings ended, there were angry words between the two families in the lobby outside the courtroom and then in the Justice Center parking lot.

Several sheriff's deputies followed the families outside to make sure the verbal attacks didn't escalate.

Tammy Jones, who described herself as Doctor's "godsister," said it was Robinson's mother who had turned around and told Doctor's daughter that she was now "motherless."

"That's not something you say to a 3-year-old child," Jones said. "We are all sorry about what happened to his son (Robinson Jr.)."

At the other end of the parking lot, Robinson Sr. and Hamilton stood close together, a white cardboard box slightly smaller than a shoe box in Hamilton's hands.

The box, which had a picture of a smiling Robinson Jr. glued to its exterior, held the dead child's ashes.

Final suspect sentenced in slaying of Daytona Beach youth


By Gary Taylor, Orlando Sentinel
3:37 p.m. EST, December 12, 2011

A 34-year-old DeLand man was sentenced to 20 years in prison today for the second-degree murder of 13-year-old Lloyd Robinson Jr. during a July 2009 home-invasion robbery in Daytona Beach.

Tyrone Terrell Ward was also sentenced to two 15-year prison terms for attempted home invasion robbery and conspiracy to commit home invasion robbery, State Attorney's spokeswoman Klare Ly said. Circuit Judge David Walsh ordered the sentences to be served concurrently, she said.

Ward was the last of five suspects to be sentenced in the case.

According to an arrest affidavit, the teenager was awakened about 4 a.m. by the sound of Carine Denise Doctor knocking on a window and door. He and his father went to the sliding glass door to investigate and Ronald David Roscoe fired two shots through the glass door after the boy's father told them to leave.

One bullet struck Lloyd Robinson Sr. in the shoulder and the other bullet struck his son in the chin. The boy ran down the hallway to his step-mother before collapsing.

Roscoe, 23, and Doctor, 29, were found guilty and sentenced to life in prison.

Ward, Ervin Dale Shipmen, 24, and Tarod Lovell Weaver, 24, testified against Roscoe and Doctor.

Like Ward, Shipman was sentenced to 20 years in prison. Weaver is serving a 15-year sentence.

You know I'm glad that the perpetrators in this case got well-deserved prison terms but why do murders who kill innocent babies get such light sentences? It just doesn't make any sense.
