There are different meanings of “random”. I saw a random dude: the dude was not expected, he wasn’t there for any particular reason, I didn’t recognise him. Libertarian free will does not require random as in random dude, it requires random as in the outcome could be different under exactly the same circumstances.

The reason for him being there is not known. The reason for the shooter rolling a seven with the dice is not known. It is still chance vs necessity.
