FACTS
On June 13, 2008, Matthew Robert was murdered while working as a clerk at Max’s Pawn Shop on Linwood Avenue in Shreveport. His coworker, Tory Jackson, observed the entry of a man with braided hair and wearing a white T-shirt and sunglasses. The person ordered Robert, “Give me all the money,” and then said, “You think I’m playing?” Using a chrome-plated revolver, the robber shot Robert in the chest, while Jackson was only an arm’s length away.
