The devastated mom of shooting victim Randy Robinson desperately ran into her son's bedroom hoping she'd find him “alive and well and getting dressed for dinner”.The murdered father-of-one had wanted to go for dinner on the last night of lobster season so Roydelle Robinson had made a reservation at a restaurant in Hamilton.Mr Robinson, a talented footballer, was last seen fixing the family's lawnmower in the back yard when he said he was going to change his clothes and get ready for dinner.So when Ms Robinson heard a friend running towards her house yelling “Randy's dead, Randy's dead,” she refused to believe what she was hearing.Mr Robinson, 22, was gunned down at about 8.30pm on Thursday in what police have called a “cowardly and sickening” gang-related murder. He was walking along Border Lane in Pembroke on his own when he was shot about five times in the head and chest by two men in dark clothing on a motorbike.Mr Robinson had been due to have dinner with his father Randy Spence just half an hour later. Their table at the Red Carpet restaurant was booked for 9pm.Ms Robinson struggled to hold back the tears as she said: “I didn't believe what I was hearing, it couldn't be the truth as far as I was concerned, I thought he was in his room. I actually said: ‘not my son, my son's home.'“I ran into his room shouting out his name, but his room was in darkness.”It was then that Miss Robinson ran from the house in Railway Terrace that she shared with her son to his murder scene.She said she recalls “running as fast as she could” up Border Lane until she could see nothing but police officers.Ms Robinson, 39, said: “I still didn't believe it, everything was a blur, but I just didn't think it was true, not my son. I said to a policeman: ‘was it my son?' That's when a neighbour told me. I started crying and couldn't stop.”Meanwhile, Mr Spence of Fort Hill Road, Devonshire had been trying to call his son to say he was ready to leave home and head to dinner.He couldn't work out why he wasn't answering his phone until Miss Robinson called him to tell him what happened. Mr Spence immediately raced to the scene at about 8.45pm.Mr Robinson was found lying in an unresponsive state and was pronounced dead at the scene. An autopsy on Mr Robinson's body is due to be carried out this weekend.Ms Robinson explained she last saw her son at about 6.30pm on Thursday when he helped her to fix the lawnmower. Mr Robinson said he “really wanted to go get a lobster” and asked his mom to make a reservation for him and his dad.Mr Robinson said he could “get a bike from somewhere” and he would meet his dad at Red Carpet at 9pm. Ms Robinson, who hasn't been able to sleep since the murder, insists her son was not a gang member and says she has no idea why he left the house that night.Ms Robinson said: “I just want my son back, I want him to come home, all this doesn't feel real.”Mr Robinson was a loving father to two-year-old son Xyior Basden and he also leaves behind younger step-sister; D-Kiyah Evans, 15.His parents described their son as “football mad”. As a child Mr Robinson went to every training session with his father and would “run up and down the pitch following him.”Mr Robinson was even nicknamed ‘Little Randy' and ‘Spence' as he was said to look and act just like his father.Mr Robinson trained with PHC as a young child, before playing for the North Village youth team. He also trained with the national youth team and was a nominee for the Bermuda Football Association Young Player of the Year.When he was 18 he started to play for Devonshire Cougars, then last year he signed to North Village Rams. He said he returned to North Village to “make daddy proud.”Mr Robinson had been “excited and very happy” to help North Village become league champions last weekend. But his family are upset Mr Robinson won't get to play in next weekend's Friendship Finals where North Village take on the Devonshire Cougars. Mr Robinson had been keen to “get a victory and get his own back on his old team.”And if he wasn't playing football, he was watching it on TV with his parents saying he was a huge fan of Barcelona FC and he cheered on Spain in the World Cup. He was also a big fan of playing FIFA Soccer on his PlayStation. It was said “he'd make a whole lot of noise when he had the PlayStation controls in his hand.”Mr Spence, 40, who runs the Miles To Go towing company and is captain of the North Village Corona League team, said: “He was a great son, he had a great personality and was a proper joker. He had great mannerisms too, he was never rude to people.“He was always smiling. He knew he had a nice smile and would always make the most of it.”Mr Robinson went to Prospect Primary School, Whitney Middle School, then The Berkeley Institute for a short time before being home-schooled.He studied computers and business at Cape Breton University in Nova Scotia, Canada for about a year and was part of the university football team which won the league title.But Mr Robinson returned to Bermuda after about a year of university when he found out he was going to become a father.Mr Robinson was said to love being a father with his family joking that he wanted to buy his son a pair of football boots before he was even born and he wanted to take him to football games before he could sit up.He was said to be a loving father to Xyior when he saw him at weekends. He'd always proudly tell people: “That's my boy.”Ms Robinson recalls Mr Robinson teaching his son how to ride his bike and play football in the back yard. This was the last time father and son saw one another. Ms Robinson, who works at Conyers, Dill and Pearman, said: “He was there for his son, he really enjoyed being with him.“He'd always tell Xyior to ‘give daddy a kiss or ‘give daddy a hug.' He was always taking photos of his son.”Mr Robinson had worked as a landscaper before getting a job as a housekeeper at the King Edward VII Memorial Hospital about nine months ago. He was said to enjoy his job and was dedicated to pursuing a future career at the hospital.Mr Robinson will be remembered for his large collection of baseball caps and his love of fashion. He was described as “a pretty boy who always looked good.”He was said to sometimes hang out at Captain's Lounge on Reid Street but would usually socialise with “his dad and the older guys.”Mr Robinson came from a close-knit family and was said “the life and soul of the party” at family gatherings. He was known to call everyone aunt or uncle even if they were no relation as he didn't like calling people by their first name.Mr Robinson's aunt, who did not want to be named, said her nephew was “a real ladies man” who used to try out his chat-up lines and jokes on her.She said: “He always had a laugh and you usually ended up being the centre of his laughs. He had a joke for everyone and everything.“He was a shadow of his dad, people would always say if they weren't always together you'd think they were the same person. But he was also a real momma's boy. It was a family joke that him and his mama were inseperable. If he'd fall out with one of his friends, his mom would always act as mediator.”Police yesterday held a press conference to say they had arrested four people in connection with Mr Robinson's murder.The people, who are known to police, remain in police custody and will continue to be quizzed today.Assistant Commissioner David Mirfield, who was one of the first officers to arrive on the murder scene, said: “Once again another young Bermudian has lost his life.”He said: “I witnessed first-hand the inconceivable grief of a family who in the blink of an eye saw their beloved son gunned down in cold blood on the streets of Bermuda.“As a police officer I've lived with grief for far too long. The effect is deep and irreversible.“We have to ask the question, and I ask it to myself, when will this end?”Police confirmed the murder was gang-related, saying they had seen how “tit-for-tat arguments escalade extremely rapidly.”Mr Mirfield confirmed younger gang members were now “jostling for positions to take authority” in Bermuda's gangs as nine high-ranking gang members were now serving time in Westgate.He said: “It's quite often just a tit-for-tat chain of events, it's trying to teach one person a lesson.“But what they are doing is reprehensible and unbelievable…We cannot continue on the same track.”Police said they responded to several phone calls from residents living in the Friswells Lane area who reported hearing the sound of gunshots. Residents say Mr Robinson was shot about five times, but police would not confirm this.Police would only say members of the public had been helpful and they had got “some information” from those living close to the scene.Police are appealing for anyone who saw two men wearing dark clothing on a black motorcycle in the Friswells Lane, Border Lane or Palmetto Road area to contact them.They also want to hear from anyone who was driving past or returning home to the area at about the time of the murder.Mr Mirfield said “the community as a whole” had to help as the police couldn't do it alone.He said: “The simple truth is that we can't be everywhere…Together we can stop this violence but it has to be a partnership of everyone.”Anyone with any information should call Chief Inspector Nicholas Pedro at the Serious Crime Unit on or Crimestoppers on 800 8477.
