Accused shooter tells police: ‘I don’t roll like that’
Accused killer Jay Dill repeatedly told police he was not involved in the fatal shooting of footballer Randy Robinson.In a recorded interview, shown to the Supreme Court yesterday, the 23-year-old told police: “I don’t roll like that and that’s that. I’m not into all that type of stuff. I’m a working man and that’s that.”Mr Dill, along with 24-year-old Devon Hewey, stand accused of the premeditated murder of Mr Robinson on March 31, 2011, and using a firearm to commit the offence.Both have denied the charges.Prosecutors allege that Mr Dill, riding as a pillion passenger on a motorcycle ridden by Mr Hewey, opened fire on Mr Robinson as he walked along Border Lane North in Devonshire.The court has heard that Mr Robinson was shot once in the chest and as many as three times in the head.As the trial continued yesterday, the jury was shown a DVD of Mr Dill’s police interview.Mr Dill told officers that he and Mr Hewey had gone to a boat club together on the night of the murder because they believed a there was supposed to be a party there.After they arrived, he said they each had a drink and hung out just outside the bar’s side door. He said he later received a BlackBerry message from a friend saying someone had been shot.“I said ‘How she knows’, because she’s way down in Somerset,” he told police. “I didn’t know nothing. I said I haven’t heard nothing.”Mr Dill and Mr Hewey drove to Mr Hewey’s home on Palmetto Road, Devonshire around 9pm, parking their biked in a neighbours yard.Asked why, he said: “So nobody knows we are there. His house has already got shot up twice.”Mr Dill said he decided to spend the night there after it began to rain.“The only reason they took me is I was sleeping at Devon’s house. That means nothing,” he said. “They always come to him. Every time a shooting happens they go straight to him.”He further said, when questioned, that he had not handled a firearm, and that he couldn’t think of any reason why gunshot residue would be found on him.Asked what he had been wearing the evening of the shooting, he said he had on a black and red jacket, which he believed was still at Mr Hewey’s house. He acknowledged that police had seized his phone, an orange BlackBerry, but refused to give them his password when asked.The trial will continue today.
