Sure these things happen in real life, but this is fiction. Where's the pathos? The story remains an incomplete circle and in some cases that can be fascinating, but it is that meaningless chaos inherent in the struggle of real life that drives people to write fiction in the first place.
I agree with this.
I also want to reiterate something. My fault on my part for not being more specific.
I'm sure there may be someway to make a "robbery gone wrong" scene work and actually seem interesting, but there better be a good reason as to why it happened. Maybe even add a little twist. Maybe it wasn't a robbery gone wrong, but an assassin that had been after said character through a certain period of time. Figure out a way to compensate for the simple death, even if all you do is extend the plot past the death.
Make the death memorable, that's how I see it. If you think a simple death like that is the way to go, then by all means go ahead, it's you character. However, you have to give me some story background to make me believe that was an appropriate way to go.
