Sade Carleena Robinson was a 19-year-old college student who was reported missing in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, on April 2, 2024. A severed human leg was found in a nearby park later that day, and subsequently determined by preliminary DNA testing to belong to Robinson. Other body parts were found in different locations later, and the search for remains continues. [1]
A suspect was charged on April 12 with first-degree intentional homicide, mutilating a corpse, and arson. Before Robinson's death, she and the suspect were seen going on a date at a seafood restaurant where he used to work.[1] The suspect has a lengthy criminal record which includes domestic abuse, drunk driving, and disorderly conduct.[2] When police searched the suspect's home, they reportedly found blood on the walls and a sex dungeon in the basement.[3]
On April 18, a passerby walking along a Lake Michigan beach found a torso and arm which are believed to be Robinson's.[4]
Responses edit
The assistant district attorney described the killing and dismemberment of Robinson as "the highest level of violence imaginable".[1]
Several dozen members of the community held a "pink-out" event on the front lawn of the suspect, converting it into a makeshift memorial to Robinson with balloons, posters, flowers, and stuffed animals.[5]
The father of the suspect also expressed condolences and sympathy for the Robinson family.[4]
