From Charlene Adams\’ article in London\’s Daily Mail:
Three men have been indicted in the brutal sexual assault and slaying of a teenage girl whose body was discovered inside a Baltimore home that had been intentionally set on fire.
Adonay Dixon, 23, John Childs, 20, and Raeshawn Rivers, 14, were indicted Tuesday on first-degree murder, first-degree rape, arson, kidnapping, and other charges stemming from the death of 16-year-old Arnesha Bowers, a junior at Baltimore City College high school.
If convicted, they could face life in prison.
Police said the killing was part of a gang initiation. Detectives previously said that Dixon and Childs are Bloods members, The Baltimore Sun reports.
Bowers\’ body was discovered June 7 inside her grandmother\’s home, which investigators say was set on fire in an attempt to conceal the crimes.
According to authorities, the men broke into the home Bowers shared with her grandmother in northeast Baltimore, sexually assaulted Bowers and then strangled her with an electrical cord before stealing electronics and setting the house ablaze.
Asking again: Does this Black life matter? Or is the fact that Arnesha Bowers\’ rape and murder can\’t be pinned on the Police or on Whites render it useless to the cause, thus meaningless?
I\’ll wait to hear about the marches and protests for Arnesha, and get back to you.
