Overview

  • A Milwaukee jury found Anderson guilty on June 6 of first-degree intentional homicide, dismemberment, arson and hiding a corpse.
  • Prosecutors say Anderson killed 19-year-old Robinson on April 1, 2024, after their first date and scattered her remains across Milwaukee County and at a Waukegan beach.
  • Evidence included surveillance video of Anderson leaving the scene of Robinson’s burned car, phone data and the discovery of body parts in multiple locations.
  • Defense attorney Tony Cotton argued there was no DNA linking Anderson to the crimes during the eight-day trial.
  • Robinson’s family and Milwaukee residents have held ongoing vigils to honor her memory and press for accountability.
