McBean allegedly brandished a knife and stabbed Robinson three times in the chest.
Robinson was assisted to hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
An investigation was launched by the police, which resulted in McBean's arrest.
He was charged on July 29 after being questioned in the presence of an attorney.
