In the early hours of January 11, 2017, Robyn Hale, a 27-year-old mother of three, was fatally shot at her home on Grebe Street in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. The incident occurred around midnight after she answered a knock at her door. Her children, all under the age of ten, were inside the home at the time of the shooting. Hale was transported to a local hospital where she succumbed to her injuries.
The investigation into her death led police to her ex-boyfriend and the father of two of
her children, Robert Williams. He was arrested and booked into the East Baton Rouge Parish jail, charged with principal to second-degree murder. Investigators were led to Williams based on information from a 911 call made at the time of the shooting and statements from Hale's children. During a forensic interview, the children indicated that their father was present with another individual, whom they referred to as the 'bad guy,' who they said shot their mother.
Court documents revealed a history of domestic trouble between Hale and Williams, including a previous arrest for domestic abuse battery in December 2016. At the time of his arrest for his alleged involvement in Hale's death, police had not identified the actual shooter. Information regarding the trial, conviction, or current status of the case against Robert Williams is not readily available in public online records.
