On April 12, 2012, the police were called to the Bay View Houses in Brooklyn, New York. There was a report of a man removing decorative paving stones from the project. When the police arrived, they observed Mr. Robinson unearthing decorative paving stones. Mr. Robinson started to run to the building where his mother lived just a hundred yards away. Two police officers chased him on foot while a second set of officers in a police car raced in their vehicle to catch him. Despite ordering him to stop, he continued running. As he turned up the walkway, the car sped alongside and veered into his path. As a result, Mr. Robinson collided with the vehicle with sufficient force to dent the side of the car. Eyewitnesses report that the suspect flew up in the air and came down. He was taken away from the scene by ambulance and succumbed to his injuries on April 18, 2012.
