Police say Robinson was a senior at Willingboro High School.
"I was home I heard gunfire and when I came out I saw a body and I didn’t know it was my child," his mom Saleenah Bell said. "He was the wrong person. He was the wrong person. A good kid, a sweetheart. He didn’t deserve it."
Bell says her son who had autism worked hard to overcome challenges including delayed speech. He played guitar and chess. Robinson was a good student driven to succeed.
No arrests have been made and the investigation is ongoing. An autopsy was scheduled to be performed on Friday.
