Judge Sets $2 Million Bail for Wisconsin Driver Charged in Canadian Tourist’s Killing

Prosecutors cite witness accounts of a returning SUV that fired once after a failed cash-for-ride exchange.

Overview

  • Luis Cruz Burgos, 35, is charged with first-degree reckless homicide in the Sept. 24 shooting death of Giovanni “Mike” Robinson, 32, in Sheboygan Falls.
  • A judge set bail at $2 million during Cruz Burgos’ initial appearance by video on Sept. 29, and a preliminary hearing is scheduled for Oct. 8.
  • A criminal complaint says Robinson and friends offered cash for a ride to their hotel, then began walking before a small dark SUV returned and a single shot was fired.
  • Cruz Burgos told police he made a U-turn and drove past the group but did not see a shooting, said he did not have a gun, and noted a 2019 Florida order barring him from possessing firearms.
  • Court records and the company confirm he worked as a food delivery driver, with DoorDash stating he was not on a delivery at the time; the victim was a Canadian father and former OHL player visiting on a golf trip.
