NORTH MIAMI BEACH, FLA. (WSVN) – A suspect in connection with a shooting that police say left a North Miami Beach store clerk dead is facing charges.

William Robinson appeared in court on Wednesday morning. The 23-year-old is facing several charges, including first-degree murder and robbery with a firearm.

According to North Miami Beach police, the incident occurred on June 11 at around 9:45 p.m. at Miami Cloudz Smoke Shop, 2063 NE 163 St.

Surveillance video showed four men in the store. One of them was Robinson, according to police.

When the victim turned around to get something, one of the suspects, wearing a red hoodie, pulled out a gun and ordered him not to move.

“Don’t move, don’t move,” the man said.

Despite emergency medical treatment, the employee did not survive. He was later identified as 35-year-old Salem Albakri.

The other three men involved in the shooting were not found.
