A Louisiana man has been arrested in the murder of a beloved 75-year-old community activist whose body was discovered asphyxiated in the trunk of her car, police said at a news conference Tuesday afternoon.
"On behalf of the family of Sadie Roberts-Joseph we would like to express our sincere appreciation to all of the entities that came together in this tragedy to bring this person to justice," Roberts-Joseph's daughter, Angela Machen, said during Tuesday's news conference. "Our detectives immediately began following up on leads, interviewing witnesses and searching for evidence during the midst of a hurricane," Paul said at Tuesday's news conference."We say we can't do this without the community and this is an example of when a community steps up and does their part we're able to put these bad actors away."
There was a 90 minute time frame that investigators focused on, from the time she was last seen alive to the time her body was found, police said. "We're devastated that someone has actually killed her and put her in the trunk of her own car," Roberts-Joseph's niece, Pat McCallister-Leduff, told ABC News.
Such a loss
One thing I’ve learned, when police arrest someone so fast, it’s usually the wrong person, and they do it to get out the spotlight. No good police work was done.
It was a hate crime, all murder is including the abortions that you embrace.
💔💔
It's also appalling that you won't tweet the photo of the white man responsible for this heinous crime!
Hmmm. I was wrong.. Still damn pathetic to kill a beloved activist over that. Rest well, Ms.
BlackonBlack crime. If he was white or they'd call it racist.
Why did ABC not post the name & picture of the Murderer? Because there is no money to be made by the media when a black man kills a black woman. The media can't string out it's hoped for racial bent they wanted to profit from. Ronn Jermaine Bell Sr.
1 - What in the name of god is happening in this country, & 2 - Can it be fixed?
