WTH???? A 44 yr old man cannot have a relationship with a 14 yr old girl. [View all]
The way this is being described as a "relationship" pisses me off. A 44 yr old man murdered a vulnerable 14 yr old that he sexually abused. The age of consent, even in FL is 18 yrs old.
TAMPA, Fla. - More than three years after a 14-year-old girl's body was found in a field, the man charged with her murder is standing trial in a Tampa courtroom.
The backstory:
In May 2022, Nilexia Alexander was found shot to death off Floribraska Ave. Investigators said she was seen on video getting into Ronnie Walker's car in the early morning hours of May 6, 2022.
The teen was considered a runaway from Temple Terrace, police said. Earlier this week, her mother, Ashley Alexander, told FOX 13 she adopted Nilexia when the child was 4 years old.

Her mother had to listen to and see some of the gory details from the early morning of May 6, 2022, when her daughter was found shot six times, at least once in the head.
"That gun was within 12 inches of her face. Intentional premeditated," prosecutor John Terry told the jury.
Prosecutors believe Walker was mad he had contracted something from her in their relationship, and that he'd given it to his actual girlfriend.
