The bodies of two missing Florida women who had been protesting the death of George Floyd have been found near the home of a 49-year-old man who has been taken into custody in connection with their deaths, according to police in Tallahassee.
The victims, Oluwatoyin Salau, 19, and Victoria Sims, 75, were found Saturday near the home of Aaron Glee, the suspect in their deaths, reports The Tallahassee Democrat.
Glee was taken into custody in connection with their deaths, police said on Facebook Monday, adding that there was no further information to release "at this time."
The women met after Black Lives Matters protests, when Salau spoke at protests and carried signs on June 6. That afternoon, she tweeted that she'd been molested that morning by a man who offered to give her a ride to a church where she'd gone “to escape unjust living conditions.”
Sims, meanwhile, was a retired state worker and grandmother, who was well known for her work in local Democrat politics and volunteerism. She was last seen on June 11, said police.
Glee, meanwhile, had most recently been arrested on May 29, after police saw him kicking a woman, who was neither Sims or Salau, in the stomach. She told police she was drinking alcohol with Glee and they were walking down a sidewalk when he propositioned her for sex, the newspaper reported. According to police, when she refused, Glee allegedly knocked her down and started kicking her. He was released on bail on June 1 after being charged with misdemeanor assault.
