In the summer of 2018, the life of 51-year-old Johnny Robinson Jr. was tragically cut short on a Friday night in Charleston, South Carolina. On June 22nd, Robinson was on Norman Street in the downtown area when he was fatally shot. The Charleston County Coroner's Office later identified him as the victim of a homicide. Friends and family remembered Robinson as a decent, kind, and witty person, always ready with a huge smile.
He was a man who would go out of his way to help others whenever they needed him.
In the wake of the shooting, the Charleston Police Department launched an investigation into the death of Johnny Robinson Jr. Their efforts quickly led to a suspect, and an arrest was made in connection with the fatal shooting. The individual taken into custody was identified as Thomas Shettig. He was subsequently charged with murder and possession of a firearm during the commission of a violent crime.
Following his arrest, Thomas Shettig faced legal proceedings for his alleged role in the death of Johnny Robinson Jr. After a trial, a jury found Shettig guilty of murder. He was sentenced to 45 years in prison for the crime. Shettig later attempted to appeal his conviction, but the appeal was ultimately dismissed, upholding the original verdict and sentence.
