Sasha Avonna Bell, 19, was found shot to death in her home at the Ridgecrest Village Townhouses in Flint, Michigan, on April 19, 2016. The body of her friend Sacorya Renee Reed was also discovered in the residence. Bell’s one-year-old son was found unharmed in the home and placed in the care of child protective services.

Bell had been one of the first Flint residents to file a lawsuit over the city’s contaminated water, alleging her son suffered lead poisoning; the suit named six companies and three government employees. Days after the killings, Flint police arrested Malek Emmanuel Thornton and arraigned him on two counts of first-degree murder, two counts of open murder, and possession of a felony firearm. Reports at the time suggested a possible motive tied to a past relationship rather than the water-related litigation. The lawsuit was to continue in the child’s name.

Does anyone have information about Bell, Reed, or the events at Ridgecrest Village Townhouses that could help clarify what happened?
