#Sierra and Noelani Robinson

[ablackwomansurvivingrape]

The Facebook post read, “MISSING: Téa B. Choates, Last seen Tuesday 8/6 in Lithonia Ga area.” The social media plea came from Choates’s mother, Ebony King. The 19-year-old was last seen by her fiance, Aldeyshaun Locklear. Seven days later, Choates’s body was recovered from a wooded area on the outskirts of Atlanta, CBS46 reported. Locklear, 18, was charged with felony murder, aggravated assault-strangulation and concealing a death. He confessed to killing and burying Choates, who was allegedly three months pregnant, after a “heated argument.”

On July 16, Carl Robinson stomped the pavement in front of a Mississippi clinic where his wife and mother of his three-year-old son, LaToya Thompson, worked as a receptionist. He entered and gunned her down with a “.38-caliber hammerless Smith & Wesson pistol,” the Daily Journal reported. Robinson, a candidate for Mississippi state representative, then turned the gun on himself. Thompson’s colleagues tried feverishly to save her life, performing CPR, but she died before a medical helicopter arrived to airlift her to an area hospital. According to the Clarion-Ledger, her killer was served divorce papers just hours before.

Choates and Thompson join a list of black women whose fatalities are the result of violent, unhinged men who struggle with hegemonic masculinity—also known as the toxic caveman shit that has many men believing they can control and dominate women, forcing them to engage against their will.

But the recent killings of African-American women far exceed being “crimes of passion.” They are more so terroristic. In many cases, they have been plotted and executed with the same vengeance and reckless abandon as crimes carried out by Omar Mateen, Dylann Roof, and Timothy McVeigh. Each occurrence, more egregious than the last, points to the fragile male ego and a pervasive threat to black women.

On July 11, Jerome Stewart, 23, and Anthony Dees, 30, rightfully lost their shit when their mother’s murderer allegedly flashed a sinister smile during a sentencing hearing. In 2017, Dale Williams killed Elizabeth Pledger-Stewart in cold blood. Williams confessed to planning the murder, stalking Stewart in an alley along the route she drove to work, deliberately running her off the road and causing her to crash her car, and then emptying a barrage of bullets into her body. He was still firing when police arrived at the scene. His reason: “He was angry and, basically, fed up” after their split, WKBN reported.

This level of savagery is far more common than the incidents covered in the media might suggest; so much so that, for many, domestic violence may not be considered news, but rather the norm. However, no matter what the public response is, domestic violence ending in murder is a pressing concern that plagues women, particularly black women. The evidence is in the statistics: while according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), just over 55 percent of all female homicides are connected to intimate partner violence, a 2017 report by the Violence Policy Center, “Female Homicide Victimization By Males,” found that 93 percent of black women were murdered by men, at more than twice the rate of white women. Ninety-one percent were killed by black men and 58 percent by intimate partners.

Domestic violence resulting in death is not exclusive to intimate partner relationships. Children are victims of domestic homicide, too. Little Maleah Davis is a heinous example. In May, Maleah, 4, came up missing while in the care of her mother’s ex, Derion Vence. Her remains were later discovered in a bag on the side of an Arkansas highway. Vence spun an incredulous kidnapping tale, but allegedly later disclosed the young girl’s whereabouts, saying that she was hurt in an “accident,” reported KHOU. The speculation behind the horrific event was that the girl’s mother, Brittany Bowens, had broken off an engagement to Vence, allegedly, after both suspecting him of molesting her child and busting him texting an illicit photo of himself to another man. Vence’s retaliation was taken out on little Maleah.

Who raised these heathens?

As I recall my own brush with intimate partner violence, I sympathize deeply with these women. The trepidation I felt knowing my emotionally disturbed ex was stalking my every breath was lightweight compared to the terror I experienced when he beat me bloody. He forced his way into my home, body-slammed me across a dining table, dragged me by a handful of my braids, yanking out all but four from the scalp, pummeled my head with angry fists, kicked and stomped my torso, and left me with severed tendons in my left hand—all because I no longer wanted to date an emotionally unstable manchild.

I thought I might die, but I didn’t. I survived. These black women did not. Here are 15 black women who were senselessly murdered by the terroristic men in their lives.

Samantha Stewart, 29 Stewart, a young nurse, was strangled in her home by a serial killer she met on Tinder.

LaTonya Richards, 35 The father of Richards’s three-year-old son shot her in the head outside of the salon she co-owned.

Dr. Tamara O’Neal, 38 Dr. O’Neal was gunned down in the hospital emergency room where she worked by her former fiance.

Aisha Fraser, 45 Fraser, a school teacher, was stabbed to death at her home by her ex-husband, a judge with a history of violence against her.

Lashonda Childs, 17 Childs was shot dead days before her 18th birthday by a disgruntled ex who was 11 years her senior. She made several attempts to leave the relationship and made pleas for help through the court system.

Davokiee Ann Jackson, 24 Jackson, a mother of two, was shot multiple times in front of a friend by her children’s father.

Uniek Atkins, 27, and Sierra Brown, 16 The two sisters were shot and left to die inside their burning apartment. The teenage father of one of the sisters’ children was arrested in connection to the murders.

Sierra, 24, and Noelani Robinson, 2 Robinson and her daughter were killed by her ex-boyfriend—the child’s father and Robinson’s alleged pimp—in retaliation for leaving him. He shot Robinson and another woman and dumped the two-year-old’s bludgeoned body.

Jerrica Spellman, 29 Spellman, the mother of seven, was stabbed along with three of her children by their father for wanting to end the relationship.

Tanya Byrd, 52 Byrd was dismembered by her schizophrenic son, who took a selfie while holding her severed head.

Kishana Jeffers The father of Jeffers’ three kids beat down her door and shot her in front of the children on Thanksgiving Day.

Stefanie Vallery, 51 Five-time Olympian Danielle Scott’s sister, Vallery, was viciously stabbed to death by her husband, who couldn’t accept their pending divorce. He left the home after killing her, returning shortly after to stab her several more times.

Sherry Billups, 35 Billups was doused with gasoline and set ablaze by her newlywed husband because he didn’t like other men looking at her.

Alright. Let’s see how many “woke” black men speak out about this black woman and black child being killed by a black man. Last week in Milwaukee, an Amber Alert was issued for two year old, Noelani Robinson. Sierra Robinson, the mother of Noelani, was murdered by her daughter’s father. She was shot to death. After he killed the mother of his child, he abducted Noelani, and was on his way to Minnesota. On Saturday, Noelani was found dead, as a result to blunt force trauma to the head. This black man didn’t give a fuck about the mother of his child, or his child. This black man doesn’t give a fuck about black women. The mother of this child and his child are now added to a long list of black women and black children that have been killed by black men. This is why I have a problem with black men that only speak about black men being murdered. This is why I have a problem when black women think black men are more likely to be killed than black women. This is why it pisses me off when black women are excluded from conversations about the deaths of black people. Y’all need to start giving a fuck about black women. If you only respect black women you’re related to, you don’t respect black women.

We must finally infuse a zero-tolerance for all domestic abuse along with unconditioning the patriarch misogyny that societally conditions males to believe they are 'entitled' to women's personhoods, bodies, and lives.

"An Amber Alert has been issued for Noelani Robinson, a 2-year-old girl who was allegedly abducted by her father in Milwaukee. Police say her father, 34-year-old Dariaz Higgins, also shot and killed Robinson’s mother.

Noelani was last seen on Monday, according to ABC News. She is believed to be with her father, who is considered armed and dangerous, according to the Milwaukee Police Department. The search for Noelani began Monday after police responded to an afternoon shooting they believe was carried out by Higgins. Twenty-four-year-old Sierra Robinson, Noelani’s mother, was found in an apartment driveway and pronounced dead at the scene."

AMBER Alert suspect arrested after mom found dead, 2-year-old still missing

MILWAUKEE, Wisc. — Authorities now say they have arrested the man accused in connection with a double shooting and AMBER Alert, but the child who was the subject of the alert is still missing.

Dariaz Higgins was arrested just before 1 p.m. Wednesday in Milwaukee.

WITI reports that he was wanted in connection with the shooting death of Sierra Robinson Monday. Higgins is believed to have taken his child whom he had with Robinson, two-year-old Noelani, with him when he took off.

As of Thursday, the AMBER Alert for Noelani is still active.

The Milwaukee Police Department says they will use all available resources to find her. They are currently investigating a tip that she may be in St. Cloud, Minnesota or Ann Arbor, Michigan, WITI reported.

Citing court documents, WITI reported that the little girl had been living with her father while her mother was living in Las Vegas. Her mother, Robinson, was in Milwaukee this week to pick up Nolani but instead was killed.

Family, friends hold vigil honoring murdered KC mother, daughter found dead in ditch

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Family and friends gathered Friday night at a Kansas City park to mourn the loss of a mother and child taken too soon.

Pink and white balloons soared above Hibbs Park, near 59th and Spruce, in honor of Sierra Robinson and her 2-year-old daughter, Noelani Robinson.

Police said Sierra was shot and killed in Milwaukee and Noelani’s body was later found on the side of a highway, three hours away, in Minnesota.

Sierra’s father, Hank Robinson, said he chose to have the prayer vigil at Precious Doe Memorial to raise awareness about child abuse. In 2001, that’s where the body of a 3-year-old girl was found decapitated.

“Sierra was my first born. Noelani was my only grandchild. Both had infectious personalities,” the KC dad said. “I really miss their smiles and presence.”

Sierra had wanted her daughter to know her father and took her to Milwaukee where Noelani stayed with the man for six weeks.

Deloise Lipsey said she traveled with Daraiz Higgins, Noelani’s father and the man accused of killing Sierra.

“I didn’t quite approve of him,” Robinson said.

According to court documents, Lipsey was with Higgins for several days before and after Sierra was shot and killed in Milwaukee on March 11.

Noelani and Sierra Robinson

Lipsey claims she flew to Minneapolis from Las Vegas on March 8, court records say. Higgins picked her up at the airport, then headed south to Austin, Minnesota.

The pair checked in to the Rodeway Inn & Suites, where Lipsey said she stayed all day Saturday while Higgins was away.

Lipsey said around 3 a.m. the next day, Higgins returned, and they left for Minneapolis, taking a bag of “trash” with them.

They eventually left the alleged “trash,” presumably the two-year-old’s body, on the side of a Minnesota road, court records say.

“It’s unfathomable to imagine that my granddaughter was frozen for several days,” Robinson said. “She was in a ditch on top of dirty snow.”

Lipsey said the two then went on to Milwaukee, Chicago and eventually Detroit, according to court records.

Dariaz Higgins

According to Robinson, police said his daughter and a friend went to meet Higgins at an apartment complex while he was in Milwaukee, thinking they were going to pick up Noelani and go back to Kansas City.

“She was there specifically to get her child,” he said.

But that never happened.

“Her and her friend started walking toward the building, and that’s when he started shooting and cut them down, shot them in the back,” Hank Robinson said.

He said Higgins allegedly shot Sierra three times, killing her. Her friend was shot twice, and she remains hospitalized in critical condition.

“That is the definition of a friend — to place your life, even though there was going to be some trouble, to say I’m going anyway and I’m right there with you and if you die I’m going to die right there with you,” Robinson said. “There’s no greater love.”

According to Lipsey’s timeline, the 2-year-old’s body was on the side of the road for five days before a passerby spotted it March 15.

Lipsey is now charged with harboring or aiding a felon. She’s since been freed on bond and has another court hearing April 1.

Higgins is being held in jail, charged with killing Sierra. He has not been charged in Noelani’s death.

The Kansas City mother and daughter will be laid to rest Saturday morning.

KC father mourns daughter, granddaughter found dead in Milwaukee and Minnesota ditch

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — A Kansas City father is now mourning his daughter and granddaughter after they were found dead up north.

Hank Robinson held back tears Wednesday afternoon as he flipped through pictures on his cell phone of two people he treasured: his 24-year-old daughter, Sierra Robinson, and her 2-year-old daughter, Noelani.

“It’s one of the hardest things I have ever experienced in my life,” he said. “Really it is the hardest. Sierra was my first born. Noelani was my only grandchild. Both had infectious personalities. I really miss their smiles and presence. They both were beautiful inside and outside.”

Sierra was found shot to death in Milwaukee; Noelani’s body was discovered days later in a ditch in Minnesota.

The Kansas City father can’t believe his daughter and granddaughter are both now tragically gone.

“I cried so much last week after a relative called and told me what happened. I’m now just wondering how I’m going to finish the rest of my life with this being on my mind every day,” Robinson said.

He said in January Sierra took his granddaughter to Milwaukee to meet her father, Dariaz Higgins, for the first time.

Hank Robinson

“My daughter wanted her child to have a relationship with her father,” Robinson said.

That would be the last time he’d see his daughter and granddaughter alive.

“She was supposed to return with Noelani and go back to work at a Starbucks here in Kansas City. She left my granddaughter with Higgins for six weeks, and then Sierra went to Las Vegas to visit family members,” he said.

But when his daughter returned to Milwaukee, he said Higgins refused to give Noelani back to her mom.

“There was trouble, verbal confrontations,” Robinson said.

Robinson said he later talked to police and learned his daughter and a female friend went to meet Higgins at an apartment complex, thinking they were going to pick up the child.

However, the grieving grandpa said that never happened.

Sierra Robinson

“I never approved of that man. From what I understand, Sierra and her friend got out of the truck that he was in, and he told them my granddaughter was inside an apartment,” Robinson told FOX4. “When my daughter and her friend started walking toward the apartment building, Higgins shot them both in their backs and cut them down. My daughter was shot three times, and her friend, who’s still in the hospital facing a long recovery, was shot twice.”

Police said they later found little Noelani dead 3 hours away in Austin, Minnesota.

“He left my grandchild, his daughter, on the side of the road in a ditch, wrapped in a blanket,” Robinson said. “All I can say is that God needed angels. I want him to know that I will be in the courtroom especially for the sentencing phase. Hopefully, he’ll plead guilty and make it easy on all of us.”

Dariaz Higgins

On Friday, family and friends will honor Sierra Robinson and her little girl during a prayer vigil. It will be held at Hibb Park near 59th and Spruce in Kansas City.

The young mom and little girl will be laid to rest on Saturday.

Higgins has been charged with Sierra Robinson’s murder. So far, prosecutors have not charged him with killing the toddler. He remains in a Milwaukee jail on a $1 million cash bond.

In the meantime, police believe Higgins had help while he was on the run. On Wednesday, the alleged accomplice was arrested on charges of harboring and aiding a fugitive.
