BATON ROUGE - On Wednesday, jury selection continued in the trial of Michael Robinson, who was accused of killing Dexter Cormier and shooting five others in Oct. 2024. 

WBRZ previously reported that the shooting happened outside of a venue on Greenwell Springs Road near Platt Drive. 

An affidavit says Robinson fired his weapon aimlessly into a crowd because he heard someone shoot first. He faces a second-degree murder charge and five counts of attempted murder. 

Jury selection is not over yet, with attorneys asking the jury about their relationship with law enforcement and what they know about the case.
