A Connecticut man has been convicted of murder in the stray\u002Dbullet killing of the mother of a two\u002Dtime Olympian rifle shooter from Puerto Rico.
A jury found Franklin Robinson, 40, guilty Friday in the death of Mabel Martinez Antongiorgi. The 56-year-old was in her sewing and crafts room in Waterbury when a bullet flew through a wall and hit her in the head on April 9, 2022.Martinez Antongiorgi’s daughter, Yarimar Mercado Martinez, competed for the family’s native Puerto Rico at the 2016 and pandemic-delayed 2020 Games. The athlete was in Brazil for a competition when her mother was killed.
“Why you? Why this way? You were just sitting in your little house sewing, as you always did,” she wrote. The three shot up a car parked on Martinez Antongiorgi’s street, thinking the man was inside it, according to testimony. Another bystander was wounded but survived. His defense questioned the credibility of a key witness: Robinson’s now-former girlfriend, Emily Dyer.
