Robinson spent his last day alive on the course. According to his family, he hit a hole in one less than 24 hours before he died.
Police said the shooting happened just after midnight on Wednesday in the city’s downtown area.
Officers were dispatched for a gunshot victim around 12:10 a.m. Lifesaving efforts were attempted, but Robinson was pronounced dead.
Investigators said Robinson was shot by someone who was inside a small, dark-colored SUV.
The motive remains unclear.

Authorities do not believe Robinson and the shooter knew each other. No suspect was immediately identified.
Robinson’s family said he and others had left a bar and asked a delivery driver for a ride home.
They said that was when the shooting occurred.
“There’s no words. There’s no words,” Jacob Robinson, Giovanni’s brother, told reporters. “My brother was taken unexpectedly from us, and I just want justice and his name to be known.”
Jacob said his brother leaves behind a wife and a five-week-old baby.

Their sister’s wedding, scheduled for next week, was canceled.
“My heart wrenches for my sister,” Jacob said. “I can’t explain how that feels to have to cancel your wedding because your brother’s funeral is going to replace the wedding.”
He added, “I don’t have any emotions other than pain and sadness. He was such an incredible young man.”
A GoFundMe was launched to support Robinson’s wife Rachel and their daughter Farrah.
“As difficult as this is to write, we want everyone to know about the beautiful soul that was Giovanni Michael Robinson. Our Precious ‘Mike,’” the campaign reads.
The fundraiser describes Robinson as a former hockey player in the OHL and in Germany for the Hannover Scorpions, a family man, and a proud new father.
The campaign quickly raised $170,000 of its $180,000 goal.
