The residence of the individual accused of the murder of Sade Robinson, 19, has undergone a dramatic transformation. The home now displays a variety of pink decorations, including balloons and signs calling for justice, in a tribute to Robinson’s memory.
The colorful tribute reflects the community’s determination to honor her after the tragic circumstances of her death. Sade Robinson’s death has touched many people in the community and beyond. She reportedly visited Maxwell Anderson’s home near 39th and Oklahoma on the night of her disappearance. This visit, which occurred on April 1, is believed to have been the night she was murdered.
The fallout from this supposed first date has resonated deeply, evoking a wave of emotional responses from people who see parts of their own experiences in her story. Community member Nichole Green expressed a deep connection to Robinson’s search for affection. At 50 years old, Green finds Robinson’s story relatable and moving, reflecting the universal desire for love, told Fox6now.
Responding to a call from the community, she drove more than an hour to participate in a “pink-out” event held at Anderson’s home on April 15, the goal of which was to decorate the house in Robinson’s favorite color to turn a place of darkness into one of light. and support. The tragic details surrounding Robinson’s disappearance emerged when investigators used GPS technology to establish that Robinson was at Anderson’s residence the night he disappeared.
The next day, a horrifying discovery was made at Warnimont Park in Cudahy: a severed leg that was later identified as belonging to Robinson. Subsequent searches led to the discovery of more remains scattered throughout the county, intensifying the shock and grief among the local community and authorities.
Residents of the Anderson neighborhood were particularly shocked by the gruesome findings. Dustine Walker, a local who participated in community support efforts, noted the dissonance between the man she heard about from her son, who observed Anderson walking his dogs, and the accused killer. On pink-out day, wearing pink as a symbol of solidarity, Walker and her daughter joined others to express their support.
They emphasized shared grief and the Milwaukee community’s commitment to supporting the grieving family. Stormy Walker, who also participated in the event, highlighted the importance of community presence to show Robinson’s mother that she was not alone in her grief. The sight of community members gathered around the decorated house served as a poignant reminder of collective grief.
Despite the vibrant pink decorations that now cover the Anderson home, they do little to mask the deep pain felt by Robinson’s family and supporters. The family continues their harrowing search for the remaining remains. In an effort to manage the financial burdens of memorial costs, among other expenses, they have created a GoFundMe pagereaching out to the wider community for support during this incredibly difficult time.
