The four conspired in mid-June to burn down the company's building at 5414 South 40th Street because of "pending embezzlement charges" against Andonucci, who had just been fired from Young Champions, says a police probable-cause statement. The other three still worked at the company during the incident. The group gathered at a Wal-Mart on June 14, where they bought and stole five-gallon gas cans.

Investigators believe the gas fumes were so intense that Robinson exploded into flame when he tried to ignite the fire. His body was burned beyond recognition.

...sad, and a black eye for martial arts and artists alike.
