Robinson trial bumped to August

AURORA | The trial of a man charged with murder after a fatal liquor store robbery last spring has been delayed until August, according to court records. 

Elon Raynell Wynn Robinson, 22, was set to go on trial yesterday in Arapahoe County District Court in Centennial. 

But according to records, the trial is now scheduled to start Aug. 29. It wasn’t clear from the records why the trial was delayed. 

Robinson was arrested a short time after the April 9 robbery at Sixth Avenue Liquors that left Benigno Morales-Ramirez, 24, dead. Robinson was also wounded by gunfire during the robbery.

A second man, Anthony Gillespie, 24, was arrested in August in connection with the robbery and murder.

According to the arrest affidavit filed against Robinson, he was shot in the arm and hip during the robbery and later arrested at an area hospital. He has been in jail since.

Gillespie, who is being held in the Arapahoe County Jail without bail, is set to go on trial in July, according to court records.
