Antonio Shai Robinson
Age 18
Stamford, Connecticut
“That kid never missed a tackle”
He was on the small side, but that didn’t prevent him from playing football. Co-captain of the Black Knights at Stamford Academy in Stamford, Connecticut, he made his mark as a positive presence, “an awesome, awesome kid.”
“I don’t know if you have ever seen one of our team’s games, but Antonio was our defense,” Coach Jamar Greene said. “That kid never missed a tackle.”
Antonio Shai Robinson, 18, was heading to a basketball game in Stamford on May 31, 2018, when he was shot and killed. He would have graduated in June. More than 300 people came to his funeral.
