Robert was taken to a hospital in the area in critical condition, where he succumbed to his injuries and passed away over the weekend. Homicide is investigating the case and asking the population to help identify the person responsible. A decent description of the suspect vehicle has not been provided.
Nicki has not yet spoken about his father’s death. There are pictures of them together hugging over the years, so obviously they had a decent relationship and saw each other from time to time. It is not clear what Nicki’s relationship with her father was today.
A representative for Nicki confirmed his father’s death, but made no further comments at this time.
Robert was only 64 years old.
