Perry Lavelle Robinson was 25 when he was shot and killed in Canton, Ohio, on August 5, 2016. The shooting prompted a criminal investigation and led to the arrest of Michael W. Burns, who faced murder charges in connection with Robinson’s death. Burns was later convicted of involuntary manslaughter and served time in state prison. He also received an additional eight-year federal prison term for firing a shot at a U.S. Marshal Service task force member.

The case affected Robinson’s family and the local community and involved both state and federal proceedings tied to the same sequence of events. Does anyone have memories of Perry or information about the events leading up to August 5, 2016?
