Police Officer Michael Robbins succumbed to complications from gunshot wounds suffered 14 years earlier while responding to a call of shots fired in a neighborhood.
As Officer Robbins and his partner arrived in the 6500 block of South Langley Avenue, a man walked up to their unmarked patrol car and opened fire, striking both officers.
Officer Robbins, who was shot 11 times, had three bullets which remained lodged in his heart. He was found dead in his apartment as a result of those injuries on September 13th, 2008.
Prior to Officer Robbins' death, the 22-year-old suspect was sentenced to 120 years in prison.
