His heartbroken girlfriendtribute to the 21-year-old. In a post on social media Angel White said he would “do anything” for the people he cared about.
Angel wrote: “Robert darling. Our relationship wasn’t perfect, you were the most hot headed, craziest boy I have ever met. But there wasn’t anything you wouldn’t do for the people you cared about and that’s what I loved about you.
“You’ve been taken away from us all so sudden and far too early but I feel lucky to say I got to spend the last few months of your life by your side and I’m really going to miss you. I’ll always hold a place for you in my heart Robert, forever.”
Alongside the post, Angel shared a number of pictures of the pair together including a screenshot of a message sent from Robert on Hogmanay saying “love you darling”. Meanwhile, his cousin Nicole Adam said her “heart is broken into a million pieces”, adding “It’s killing me every second I think of you, and thinking how you were feeling tonight.”
The Daily Record previously reported on a firework siege which took place in the housing estate. Shocking footage showed a pyro battle unfold in front of terrified residents on Lochbroom Drive, in the Foxbar area, on Saturday.
Fireworks could be seen blasting the top floor window and a two-storey house, aimed at three people on the street. Police were later called to Maree Road in the housing estate and officers remain stationed at a cordon on the residential street while the investigation continues.
Neighbours and the wider community have been left shocked by the tragedy and images from the scene appeared to show a large blue tent erected over a vehicle on the road.
A spokesperson for Police Scotland said: “A 19-year-old man has been arrested and charged in connection with the death of a man in Paisley. Around 4.15pm on Saturday, January 18, 2025, emergency services were called to the Maree Road and Lochbroom Drive area following a report of a disturbance.

The 19-year-old was taken to hospital shortly after the incident for treatment and was later discharged. He is expected to appear at Paisley Sheriff Court on Monday, January 20, 2025.
