randi generating random complex numbers from 4-QAM

I am trying to generate the transmitted symbol x randomly from the set of constellation points seen below from a 4-QAM constellation diagram. This is in respect to the input-output model y = h · x + w for a total of 10^4 independent realizations. I went to the Matlab site and found the following code:
a = randi([-5,5],10,1,"like",1i)
I tweaked it to represent the points on my 4-QAM diagram as so
a = randi([-2,2],10e4,1,"like",1i)
However when I try to run it I get the following error:
Error using randi
Complex or sparse input following 'like' is not supported.
Error in Untitled (line 2)
a = randi([-2,2],10,1,"like",1i)
Perhaps I am overcomplicating this but I can use some assistance in updating my code to produce a random generation of complex numbers in respect to the constellation points on the 4-QAM diagram seen below. Thank you in advance.

Your code works fine for me, and here:
a = randi([-2,2],10e4,1,"like",1i);
plot(real(a),imag(a),"o")
I'm not sure what to suggest, other than restarting MATLAB. What do you get from
which randi -all

I notice the user has marked R2020a; perhaps it was not supported then.
(I had no idea it was supported at all!)

I think you are correct. I looked for this in the version history of randi, but missed it! Looks like this was introduced in R2022a.

My other answer focused on "Why didn't this syntax work?" (and concluded that you don't have a recent enough version).
This is answer is focused "How can I do what I need?"
There are two straightforward solutions:
(1) Generate the real and imaginary parts separately, and add them. For example.
N = 11;
re = 4*randi(2,N,1) - 6;
im = 4*randi(2,N,1) - 6;
c = re + i*im
(2) Generate a random value from 1 to 4 (because you have 4 distinct points), and use that as an index into the complex values you want.
N = 11;
c_vals = [-2-2*i, -2+2*i, 2-2*i,2+2*i];
idx = randi(4,N,1);
c = c_vals(idx)'
