Milwaukee Community Rallies After Maxwell Anderson Convicted for Sade Robinson Murder

Maxwell Anderson was found guilty on all counts for the 2024 murder of 19-year-old Sade Robinson, sparking emotional rallies and vigils across Milwaukee as the community and Robinson's family sought justice. Sade's mother, Sheena Scarbrough, expressed a mix of grief and gratitude, emphasizing Sade's enduring legacy as a 'light worker' and hero who touched many lives and inspired resilience. Scarbrough highlighted the family's commitment to justice and their work through Sade’s Voice Foundation, advocating for other crime victims and pushing for the establishment of a Missing and Murdered Task Force to protect Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) women. Despite the verdict providing a measure of relief, Robinson’s family and supporters acknowledge the ongoing pain and the impossibility of full justice for the loss of a young life taken too soon. The community continues to remember Sade as a humble, kind person with big dreams whose life and energy remain a lasting imprint. The family's message urges others to live by Sade’s principles and support efforts to prevent similar tragedies.
