Robertson was arrested after arriving Dover Police police officers located deceased 19-year-old Dashawn Friend at Pine Grove Apartments on Webbs Lane at approximately 9:42 a.m. on April 30, 2015. Authorities said the man was shot multiple times and declared dead at the scene due to the wounds.

The Delaware Department of Justice said the incident involved a marijuana deal that turned into a robbery.

After chasing leads on the day of the shooting, police said, Robertson was identified as a suspect and arrested. Another suspect was also arrested, but charges against him were eventually dropped.

Initial charges against Robertson included first-degree murder, first-degree robbery, second-degree conspiracy, possession of a deadly weapon during the commission of a felony, possession of firearm by person prohibited, possession of ammunition by person prohibited and resisting arrest.

Deputy Attorney Generals Ben Snyder and Marie Graham secured the plea.
