The suspect, who was a tenant of civil rights activist Sadie Roberts-Joseph, owed her over $1200 in late rental payments
Photo: Baton Rouge Police Department/Facebook Police in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, have charged a man named Ronn Jermaine Bell with first-degree murder for the death of beloved civil-rights activist Sadie Roberts-Joseph. The body of 75-year-old Roberts-Joseph was found in the trunk of her car on July 12.
A preliminary autopsy report stated that the 75-year-old Roberts-Joseph had died from “traumatic asphyxia, including suffocation.” The car in which her body was found was discovered three miles from her home, which is in the Scotlandville area of Baton Rouge. Roberts-Joseph’s family released a statement describing her as an advocate and an educator of her East Baton Rouge community for more than 50 years, the New York Times reports. “She was proof that one voice that keeps on ringing, singing, praying, and speaking can make a difference,” the statement said.
