A Canadian man visiting Wisconsin for a golf trip was shot and killed in a drive-by shooting while walking back to his hotel, according to multiple local reports.

Police found the victim, Giovanni Michael “Mike” Robinson, 32, suffering from a gunshot wound around 12:08 a.m. local time on Wednesday in Sheboygan Falls, according to local police. Despite life-saving measures and medical attention, Robinson was pronounced dead at the scene.

Sources tell Global News that Robinson is originally from the town of Stouffville, Ont., and was a former player in the Ontario Hockey League.

      Try living in a city lol. Murders are just on daily news. They happen semi-regularly but are almost always someone being targeted for a specific reason, which seems to be the case here. Random indiscriminate killings hardly ever happen, it’s just not worth it to risk life in prison for what, maybe a wallet or a botched robbery?

      I wouldn’t call this a random murder, seems like they planned a drive-by when they knew he was going to be at an opportune place and time.

      Who did it and why? Continue to be “shaken up” until you can tell us that.

    You know, Canada should build some golf courses so people won’t have to travel down south to scratch that golf itch.

      Canada is 4th for most golf courses per capita.

      Usa is 10th

      Nothing more American than misinformation.

      It’s a joke, please don’t ban me. :<
