NOW: $2M bond set for man accused in Sheboygan Falls drive-by shooting

SHEBOYGAN FALLS, Wis. (CBS 58) -- A DoorDash driver accused of killing a Canadian man in Sheboygan Falls made his first appearance in court Monday, Sept. 29.

Investigators say Luis Cruz-Burgos shot at a group of men visiting the area on a golf trip. He's been charged with first-degree reckless homicide.

In a packed courtroom Monday, Cruz-Burgos showed up in handcuffs and a red jumpsuit. He listened as an interpreter read him his rights and the charges he faces.

According to investigators, on Sept. 24, Cruz-Burgos was driving for DoorDash when the four men asked him for a ride to their hotel in Kohler, a five-minute drive away.

They said Cruz-Burgos and one of the men couldn't come to an agreed upon price and the men decided to walk.

according to the criminal complaint, when they couldn’t negotiate a price, Cruz-Burgos claims the men called him stupid as he drove off.

Police say after Cruz-Burgos made his food delivery, he drove back to the men and fired a gun from his vehicle -- killing 32-year-old Mike Robinson.

"The accusations set forth in the complaint to establish an extremely violent, senseless act committed by this defendant," said Sheboygan County District Attorney Joel Umanski.

Cruz-Burgos' defense attorney says he is an American citizen and has been living in Sheboygan for a number of years.

The district attorney asked the court commissioner to set Cruz-Burgos' bail at $2 million cash along with requests from the court including a GPS tracker and turning in his passport.

"The gravity and severity of the offense, and the lack of ties are at least ties to other states. The state believes the cash is necessary and it is the state's request," said Umanski.

Robinson's family in Canada told CBS 58 they were listening to the court proceedings on the phone.

Cruz-Burgos' brother and family were in the courtroom. They didn't want to speak on camera but told a reporter with Telemundo Wisconsin -- our sister station -- that their brother is innocent.
