A Canadian man visiting Wisconsin for a golf trip was shot and killed in a drive-by shooting while walking back to his hotel, according to multiple local reports.

Police found the victim, Giovanni Michael “Mike” Robinson, 32, suffering from a gunshot wound around 12:08 a.m. local time on Wednesday in Sheboygan Falls, according to local police. Despite life-saving measures and medical attention, Robinson was pronounced dead at the scene.

Sources tell Global News that Robinson is originally from the town of Stouffville, Ont., and was a former player in the Ontario Hockey League.

    Random drive bys have never been much of a thing. They usually target a rival gang hangout hoping to get a gang member, or often just to stir up fear. But yeah, seems this guy pissed someone off.

      Yeah I’ve heard of hitting “random” houses as initiation but they’re almost always not random if you look more than 5 seconds.
