More raped dead activists, BLM Oluwatoyin Salau and white volunteer Vicki Sims in Florida

[Raped and killed by blacks]

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – As the community continues to mourn the
deaths of two women, activists and celebrities took to social
media to advocate for justice.

The bodies of Oluwatoyin "Toyin" Salau, 19, and Victoria "Vicki"
Sims, 75, were found Saturday at the same location in
Tallahassee after police used GPS to track Sims' cellphone. It
is unclear whether or not the women knew each other before their
deaths.

Aaron Glee Jr. was arrested Sunday in the Orlando, Florida,
area, hours after the women's bodies were discovered inside and
near his home, according to court records released Tuesday. He
was charged with felony murder and kidnapping.

Two petitions have received nearly 400,000 signatures. One of
them, created by Hana Bangura of New York, was aimed at the
Tallahassee Police Department and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis to
further investigate Salau's death. It has gone viral as
celebrities including Academy Award winner and former NFL wide
receiver Matthew Cherry and rapper Yung Baby Tate have shared
them on Twitter.

Senator Kamala Harris (D-Calif.), actress Alyssa Milano, George
Floyd family attorney Ben Crump and "Moonlight" director Barry
Jenkins also have expressed their support for justice in the
disappearance and death of the activist.

Salau was reported missing June 6 and Sims was reported missing
June 11. It's unknown exactly when they died.

Here's what we know about their deaths and the suspect:

Who is Oluwatoyin Salau?

Salau was an activist who was found dead Saturday night.

She was affiliated with Movement 850, which describes itself as
"student leaders and community residents working together to
demand justice and policy change" for police reform in
Tallahassee. She spoke at recent protests and spent her final
days carrying signs that pleaded for justice in the wake of
Black lives lost.

“Those lives may be lost, but we cannot be scared," Salau said
last month, during a protest in front of the Tallahassee Police
Department. "You are angry and it’s OK to be angry.”

In a series of tweets that were sent on the afternoon of June 6,
Salau talked about a man who molested her earlier that day. She
said the man offered her a ride back to a church where she had
been staying.

On June 9, Tallahassee police posted on social media a missing
persons flier for Salau, saying she was last seen June 6 in an
area about a quarter mile from where she tweeted she was picked
up for a ride and later sexually assaulted.

Meanwhile, the Kearney Center, a homeless shelter, reported that
Salau sought help June 8 and was given phone numbers for people
who could directly help her seek emergency shelter. They have no
record of her trying to get in touch with those case managers.

Who is Vicki Sims?

Police say Sims was last seen June 11. Police reported her
missing June 13 after a neighbor went to check on Sims and found
the front door to her apartment ajar. Her home is about a mile
from the area Salau said she was sexually assaulted.

Officers found her home ransacked, burglarized and her car
missing, police confirmed in an update Tuesday. Friends and
family mentioned she occasionally gave rides to a man named
Aaron, who lived on Monday Road.

Sims was a retired state worker, grandmother and volunteer who
was well-known for her work in local Democratic politics.

In a statement released Sunday, Dave Bruns, spokesman for AARP,
said, "Vicki worked tirelessly to improve the lives of others –
as a dedicated advocate for older Americans; a committed
volunteer for AARP, Second Harvest Food Bank of the Big Bend and
other community causes; a devoted mother and grandmother; and a
passionate, fully-engaged citizen, helping our nation to achieve
its highest ideals."

Suspect Aaron Glee Jr. arrested

Glee Jr., 49, was arrested early Sunday morning in Orlando on a
warrant for murder, according to jail records.

The arrest came hours after police descended on his dilapidated
home on Monday Road on Saturday night, when police found Salau
and Sims' bodies on the property.

According to jail records, the original charge against Glee was
kidnapping with intent to terrorize.

Glee was also arrested May 29, on separate aggravated battery
charges after an officer spotted him kicking a woman in the
stomach, according to police reports. After, the woman told
police she had rejected a sexual advance from Glee, who had
become angry. The victim in that case was neither Sims nor Salau.

Salau’s description of the alleged abuser that she posted to
Twitter and provided to police before disappearing doesn’t match
Glee Jr.

Cellphone trace leads to bodies
Court documents released Tuesday say police ran a trace on Sims'
cellphone. When they arrived at Glee Jr.'s house, they found
Sims' white Toyota, stuck in mud.

"It appeared as though the driver was attempting to drive north
of the stopping location, but was unsuccessful," court documents
say. "There was a white sheet covering the rear of the vehicle,
including the license plate. The license plate was bent upward,
as though attempting to conceal the vehicle's identity."

Officers knocked on the door, but no one answered. Concerned
Sims was inside and in danger, they broke in. They found Sims'
body in a bedroom, covered with a white blanket that was soaked
with blood. Her wrists and ankles were bound behind her back,
according to the probable cause affidavit.

Officers and a police dog found Salau's body covered in leaves,
about 200 feet northeast of the house.

Glee is being held in the Orange County Jail in Orlando. It's
not clear when he will be transported to Tallahassee for his
first court appearance.
