Dear friend,
Here's why this is important :
My 22-year-old son Keegan Von Roberts was
murdered by our racist neighbor,
Michael Centanni, three months ago and the
police have done nothing. We need your help
to bring forth charges.
Michael, an aspiring police officer, deliberately
left his home on July 20, 2017, to taunt and
harm my son. But the police are refusing to make
an arrest and no charges have been filed. The
investigation into Keegan's death is entering
into the third month and we still have no
answers and no justice.Keegan's father, wife,
daughter, and I have been working tirelessly with
the father of Jordan Davis, Jacksonville Community
Action Committee, and other local groups to
organize community vigils, rallies, and meetings
with Florida State Attorney Melissa Nelson calling
for transparency and accountability. But our cries
are ignored. We need your help to amplify our
demand !
Patricia, tell Florida State Attorney Melissa Nelson
to bring charges against Michael Centanni for the
death of 22-year-old Keegan Von Roberts.
Michael Centanni is modern-day George
Zimmerman. Before shooting my son to death,
Michael routinely instigated arguments with Keegan
and his wife, who was pregnant at the time. He even
touted himself as the neighborhood patrol,
branding a gun and mimicked the same over
policing tactics cops use to profile and terrorize
low-income Black communities. My son would get
upset by Michael's constant harassment, but
Keegan's calm demeanor usually allowed him to
avoid escalating conflict. But on July 20, Michael
amped up his aggression and it left my newlywed
son murdered at his pregnant wife's feet in their
own front yard.
Now, the Jacksonville police refuse to make an arrest
or execute a proper investigation on a man they see as
potentially one of them. Even FL State Attorney
Melissa Nelson, who is also known for protecting
police over people, is refusing to press charges
without providing us a rational explanation.
Our family and community deserve a due process
to ensure accountability for Keegan's death. Y'naile,
my son's daughter, is his strongest advocate. She
dreams of the day her daddy will get justice, and
Melissa Nelson can make her dream a reality once
she stops lollygagging and does her job !
Join me to demand Michael Centanni receive
charges for the murder of Y'naile's father,
Keegan Von Roberts.
Cecilia 'Sassi' Shepard, Mother of Keegan Von Roberts
