LLOYD ROBINSON JR. - 13 yo -(2009) Daytona Beach FL

There was a major arrest Wednesday in
the murder of teenager. Detectives say they caught the woman who lured
the 13-year-old Daytona Beach boy to his death.Detectives
believe 26-year-old Carine Doctor knocked on the door, which brought
the young victim into the line of fire in July. It was then that,
investigators say, Ronald Roscoe started shooting. He's already been
arrested.
Doctor was found hiding not far from where the brutal crime unfolded.
If you walk through the backyard of the home where police discovered
Doctor on Wednesday morning, you will run into the home where Lloyd
Robinson lived, the father of the young boy who was killed.Doctor spent nearly two months on the run, only to come right back to Daytona Beach where she was captured by police.At
one point, the 26-year-old shouted she was not guilty as she was led
away in cuffs Wednesday and said no one knew what she was going
through. She's now facing first-degree murder charges.Police say
Doctor was the one who knocked on the windows of a Graham Street home
in July. It was supposed to be a home invasion robbery; her job was to
lure people inside to the door."She signals her boyfriend and
another player in this to come forward. And then shots ring out and
Lloyd Robinson Jr. is struck and then they flee," Daytona Beach Police
Chief Mike Chitwood said.The police chief got an anonymous phone call Wednesday morning telling him Doctor was in a home on Washington Street."They
were greeted by her. She told us she was glad it was over, there was
some stuff she wanted to get off her chest," Chitwood explained.Doctor
later told police she had no idea anyone would be shot and actually
wanted to press charges against her accomplices for firing a gun too
close to her head.Ronald Roscoe and Tarod Weaver were captured
last month and have pled not guilty. Ervin Shipman and Tyrone Ward are
still on the run and police said they may be out of the state.Despite
the proximity of the home where Doctor was found and the home where
Lloyd Robinson lived, police said Robinson maintains he did not know
anyone involved. He has moved out of the neighborhood since the
shooting.

A fourth person was arrested today in the shooting death of a 13-year-old boy in Daytona Beach.

Tyrone Ward, 32, was arrested at a home in DeLand about 6 p.m. with help from the Florida Department of Law Enforcement, the U.S. Marshals Service fugitive task force, the Volusia County Sheriff's Office and Daytona Beach police.

Ward was wanted on a murder charge in the July 20 killing of Lloyd Robinson Jr., who was visiting his father from Atlanta. Lloyd was shot through a sliding-glass door at his father's girlfriend's home.

A bullet grazed Lloyd Robinson Sr., who later said he had been targeted by someone trying to rob him. His son's death was not intentional, Robinson said at a news conference about a week after the killing.

Indictments were announced last month against Tarod Lovell Weaver and Ronald David Roscoe on charges of first-degree felony murder, attempted home-invasion robbery with a firearm and conspiracy.

The last suspect, Erwin Shipman has not been caught.

Police in Seminole County said they've made the fifth and final arrest in the slaying of a 13-year-old boy.
Lloyd Robinson Jr., 13, was shot and killed during a home invasion in Daytona Beach in July.
A Seminole County Sheriff's Office representative said that the Sanford Police Department arrested a man who identified himself as Michael Shipman on Friday. He was charged with stealing a car, fleeing and eluding arrest and having a concealed firearm.
Police said that Shipman was actually Erwin Shipman, but he had given Sanford police his brother's name.
Officers figured out the mix-up on Saturday.
Erwin Shipman has been charged in connection with the fatal attack on the 13-year-old.
Tyrone Ward, Carine Doctor, Ronald Roscoe and Tarod Weaver have already been charged in the slaying.

Suspect pleaded not guilty

The last suspect arrested in the murder of a 13-year-old boy in Daytona Beach pleaded not guilty at a recent arraignment. Ervin Shipman had to be extradited out of Seminole County where he was arrested so his arraignment was delayed. Shipman and four others are accused of killing Lloyd Robinson Jr. last summer.

Jury Finds 2 Guilty In 13-Year-Old's Death

Updated: 5:34 pm EST February 1, 2011

VOLUSIA COUNTY, Fla. -- A jury found two people guilty Tuesday, of killing a 13-year-old boy.

Carine Doctor and Ronald Roscoe were found guilty on all counts for killing Lloyd Robinson Jr., when he answered a knock at the door of his father's home. He was shot and killed.

Doctor and Roscoe testified that on an early July morning 18 months ago, they were just looking to buy drugs in Daytona Beach. But prosecutors made the case that, when they picked out the house on Graham Street, they were part of a group willing to kill for drugs.

That's what happened, the state said, when Lloyd Robinson Sr. and his son answered the door at their home.

"During that failed attempt, a man was shot and his son was killed," Assistant State Attorney Ed Davis told the court.

Robinson Jr.'s family watched anxiously Tuesday as prosecutors made their final case that even people who didn't fire the bullet that killed Robinson Jr. were responsible for his death and should be put away for life.

"This group was prepared to go in a house, whether people were there or not," Davis said.

But with the group of five people charged all turning on each other, telling different stories, admitting drug use and past crimes, defense attorneys seized on the chance that jurors might believe Doctor and Roscoe weren't intending to rob the home at all costs.

Roscoe and Doctor were found guilty of first-degree murder.

Couple who killed teen receive life sentences
February 17, 2011
DAYTONA BEACH -- Moments before he was sentenced to life in prison by a judge, the man who shot a 13-year-old boy to death in a botched home invasion robbery apologized to the child's father in a hushed courtroom.

In a halting voice that was sometimes barely audible, 22-year-old Ronald Roscoe told Lloyd Robinson Sr. he was sorry for what had happened to Lloyd Robinson Jr. the morning of July 20, 2009.

Moments later, for what Circuit Judge J. David Walsh called "an extremely tragic and senseless crime," Roscoe and his 28-year-old girlfriend Carine Doctor-- in separate hearings -- were sentenced to spend the rest of their lives in prison without the possibility of parole. The life sentences were for their roles in the shooting death of the eighth-grader from Georgia who had come here to spend the summer with his father at his home on Graham Street.

The pair also were convicted of attempted home invasion robbery with a weapon and conspiracy to commit murder. Roscoe and Doctor received 15-year sentences for each of those two charges.

When the sentences were announced by Walsh, Robinson Sr.'s girlfriend Tina Hamilton acknowledged each by motioning with her hand, as if grateful.

But when Roscoe expressed his regret, no one in the courtroom stirred.

When he told his attorney he wanted to speak, Roscoe requested he be allowed to face Robinson Sr. directly. But Walsh nixed that, saying: "He can't face the family. He has to face me."

"From the bottom of my heart, I'm truly sorry for all the hurt and pain I've caused in your lives," Roscoe said. "I accept the responsibility for my actions."

Roscoe also said that when he learned who he had shot that morning, "there was a void within myself."

As a teenager, Roscoe lived with Robinson Jr. and the victim's mother for a short time. He had spent time with Robinson Jr., according to trial testimony.

When Robinson Sr. -- who wore a red T-shirt with his son's name on the back, and the word "redemption" and two angels on the front -- testified he looked squarely at Roscoe and told him to pray.

"The pain we have endured throughout this time has been unbearable," he said. "I pray to God to forgive him (Roscoe), but I can't at this time.

"I took care of you for the little time you stayed with my son and his mother. I hope you straighten out your life. Tell your story. Tell Lloyd Robinson Jr.'s story," Robinson Sr. said to Roscoe.

As Robinson Sr. spoke, Hamilton cried, as did other friends and relatives of the Robinson family.

When Doctor emerged for her sentencing hearing, though, the atmosphere in the courtroom shifted. Where Roscoe had been humble and apologetic, Doctor was silent.

When Robinson Sr. addressed her, he mentioned Doctor's 3-year-old daughter -- who was in the courtroom with Doctor's mother -- would become a "motherless child."

That statement prompted one of Robinson's relatives to turn around in the courtroom and mutter something toward the toddler. That enraged Doctor's relatives.

After the hearings ended, there were angry words between the two families in the lobby outside the courtroom and then in the Justice Center parking lot.

Several sheriff's deputies followed the families outside to make sure the verbal attacks didn't escalate.

Tammy Jones, who described herself as Doctor's "godsister," said it was Robinson's mother who had turned around and told Doctor's daughter that she was now "motherless."

"That's not something you say to a 3-year-old child," Jones said. "We are all sorry about what happened to his son (Robinson Jr.)."

At the other end of the parking lot, Robinson Sr. and Hamilton stood close together, a white cardboard box slightly smaller than a shoe box in Hamilton's hands.

The box, which had a picture of a smiling Robinson Jr. glued to its exterior, held the dead child's ashes.

Final suspect sentenced in slaying of Daytona Beach youth


By Gary Taylor, Orlando Sentinel
3:37 p.m. EST, December 12, 2011

A 34-year-old DeLand man was sentenced to 20 years in prison today for the second-degree murder of 13-year-old Lloyd Robinson Jr. during a July 2009 home-invasion robbery in Daytona Beach.

Tyrone Terrell Ward was also sentenced to two 15-year prison terms for attempted home invasion robbery and conspiracy to commit home invasion robbery, State Attorney's spokeswoman Klare Ly said. Circuit Judge David Walsh ordered the sentences to be served concurrently, she said.

Ward was the last of five suspects to be sentenced in the case.

According to an arrest affidavit, the teenager was awakened about 4 a.m. by the sound of Carine Denise Doctor knocking on a window and door. He and his father went to the sliding glass door to investigate and Ronald David Roscoe fired two shots through the glass door after the boy's father told them to leave.

One bullet struck Lloyd Robinson Sr. in the shoulder and the other bullet struck his son in the chin. The boy ran down the hallway to his step-mother before collapsing.

Roscoe, 23, and Doctor, 29, were found guilty and sentenced to life in prison.

Ward, Ervin Dale Shipmen, 24, and Tarod Lovell Weaver, 24, testified against Roscoe and Doctor.

Like Ward, Shipman was sentenced to 20 years in prison. Weaver is serving a 15-year sentence.

You know I'm glad that the perpetrators in this case got well-deserved prison terms but why do murders who kill innocent babies get such light sentences? It just doesn't make any sense.
