News 6 is working on gathering more details on how Robinson is linked to Slater’s death.
Robinson is now charged with first-degree murder and attempted first-degree murder.
Deputies responded first to the 1100 block of St. Nicholas Avenue at 1 a.m., where they found a man who had been shot. The man, identified later by authorities as Slater, was pronounced dead at the scene. Deputies initially reported that the victim was in his 20s.
While still at the scene, a second 911 call directed deputies to a Circle K at 24740 E. Colonial Drive.
A woman in her 20s who also had been shot was located in a vehicle and taken to the hospital in stable condition, deputies said.
