Deputy Robinson was shot and killed during a traffic stop of a suspected armed robber. He was shot once in the right arm and once behind his right ear. The suspect was arrested approximately three hours later and was tried in a different jurisdiction due to a change in venue. The suspect was found guilty of all charges in February 1997 and sentenced to death.

Deputy Robinson and his best friend, and fellow officer, had discussed being killed in the line of duty only days before. A memorial to Deputy Robinson was dedicated on December 17, 1996, in front of the Baldwin County Courthouse. Deputy Robinson is survived by his parents and two brothers.

Still working on that list of things we talked about...I now have my degree, as promised. I have a family...just like we talked about. You are still a central part of our lives. Your laughter echoes in my soul. I miss you beyond reason.
I still run into people whose lives you have touched. Such a legacy.
You were a great man Will...always
