Milwaukee man convicted of killing young woman, faces life sentence

MILWAUKEE, Wis (CIVIC MEDIA) – A jury has found a Milwaukee man guilty of killing and dismembering a 19-year-old woman on their first date.

The jury convicted Maxwell Anderson on Friday morning of first-degree intentional homicide, dismembering a corpse, arson and hiding a corpse in connection with Sade Robinson’s death.

Prosecutors argued that Anderson killed her on their first date on April 1, 2024, dismembered her body and spread her remains around Milwaukee County. They also argued that he burned her car to hide evidence. Anderson’s attorneys countered that no DNA linked him to Robinson’s death.

Anderson faces a mandatory life sentence in prison when he’s sentenced August 15. Anderson’s attorney argued that prosecutors failed to prove his intentions of killing Robinson.
