Oluwatoyin Salau, 19, along
with a 75-year-old woman were found dead on Saturday night.
Tallahassee Police are
investigating the death of a Black Lives Matter protester whose body was found
just days after she was reported missing, according to a police news release.
Authorities have not
released details as to what the relationship was between the two women or how
they were killed. Both deaths are being investigated as homicides, police said.
A suspect has been taken
into custody. He is identified as 49-year-old Aaron Glee Jr.
Salau had not been heard
from since June 6, the same day she shared a series of tweets claiming that she
had been sexually assaulted earlier that morning.
Protesters flooded the
streets of downtown Atlanta on Monday to demand an end to systemic racism and
decry the death of Rayshard Brooks who was shot and killed by police.
Brooks, 27, was shot twice
in the back, the Fulton County Medical Examiner's Office said.
Hours after the killing,
Atlanta police chief Erika Shields stepped down. The officer who shot Brooks,
Garrett Rolfe, was fired. Another officer at the scene, Devin Brosnan, was put
on administrative duty.
Protesters also called for
an end to Georgia's citizen's arrest law, which made national headlines after
the death of Ahmaud Arbery, an unarmed black man killed in southeast Georgia
while jogging.
Nationwide rallies
denouncing police brutality have taken place every day for 20 days since the
death of George Floyd, who died after a Minneapolis officer pressed his knee
against his neck for almost 9 minutes.
