The investigation
What we know:
Sheboygan Falls police are not saying what led up to the shooting. They did say they are looking for a dark, small SUV.
Family members say Mike and the rest of his group were leaving a bar, and asked a delivery driver for a ride home. Family members say security footage shows the group eventually walked away, but then what appears to be the same car circled back to the group. That is when family members say the shooting happened.

Family grieves
What they're saying:
"There’s no words. There’s no words," said Jacob Robinson, the victim's brother. "My brother was taken unexpectedly from us, and I just want justice and his name to be known."
Jacob said his brother has a 5-week-old baby with his wife – and their sister's wedding, originally scheduled for next week, has been canceled. Instead, there will be a funeral.

"My heart wrenches for my sister. I can’t explain how that feels to have to cancel your wedding because of your brother’s funeral is going to replace the wedding," Robinson said. "I don’t have any emotions other than pain and sadness. He was such an incredible young man."
