A musician from Fallbrook died Saturday from critical injuries sustained in a brutal beating and robbery at his workplace in Temecula.
Edward “Larry” Robinson, 64, was critically beaten Friday during a robbery at Pete’s Music and Guitar Shop in the 28000 block of Old Town Front Street in Old Town Temecula. Robinson was working his shift at the shop at the time of the violent robbery.
Deputies said the store owner had called authorities Friday to check on Robinson because he hadn’t been heard from for hours.
Robinson was found tied up, severely injured and unconscious in the store at around 7:30 p.m. He died Saturday from his injuries, officials confirmed.
The case is being investigated as a murder and robbery, as some items, including a guitar, were stolen from the shop.
Officials are asking anyone with information about this to call deputies at (951) 955-2777 or (951) 696-3000.
The website for Pete’s Music and Guitar Shop has posted a tribute for Robinson on their homepage that includes a photograph of the Fallbrook musician.
According to the website, co-workers, friends and loved ones plan to hold a candlelight vigil Sunday night in front of the music shop in honor of Robinson. Donations will be collected at the vigil for Robinson’s family.
