It is with an extremely heavy heart that we inform you all of the horrific murder of 19 year old #BlackLivesMatter protestor #OluwatoyinSalau!
Oluwatoyin also known as Toyin’s body was discovered Saturday night in Tallahassee after being reported missing since June 6th. According to CBS News, Toyin was discovered dead alongside another woman identified as Victoria Sims, 75.
Reports read that local officials currently have a suspect in custody under the name of Aaron Glee Jr. As of right now there has been no further details of any relationship Toyin or Victoria had with Aaron prior to their death.
When we arrived at his house he offered me a shower and I thanked him and shower and he gave me a change of clothes. He exposed himself to me by peeing with the bathroom open obviously knowing I was out of it. I told him about a sexual assault situation that happened…

Oluwatoyin Salau story is beyond heart-wrenching. So many questions, too.
"I don’t want their names gone in vain," Salau said during one protest in front of the Tallahassee Police Department last month."
