Overview

• A Milwaukee jury on June 6 found Anderson guilty of first-degree intentional homicide, dismembering a corpse, arson and hiding a corpse in the April 2024 death of 19-year-old criminal justice student Sade Robinson.
• Prosecutors used surveillance footage, cell phone records and graphic photos to show he killed Robinson on their first date and mutilated her body near Lake Michigan.
• Investigators testified that Anderson scattered her remains across Milwaukee County and set her Honda Civic ablaze to conceal the crime before his April 2024 arrest.
• During closing arguments, his defense argued that prosecutors failed to prove he intended to kill Robinson, noting an absence of DNA evidence linking him to the murder scene and no reported struggle in his apartment.
• Sentencing is scheduled for August 15, 2025, when Anderson faces a mandatory life term in prison.
