Woman Charged For Allegedly Administering Illegal Butt Injections
The death of a popular transgender Atlanta drag queen is being investigated and someone believed to be in connection has been arrested.
Florida police took 46-year-old Deanna Roberts into custody after performer Lateasha Shuntel real name Lateasha Hull, died from complications following a black market butt job.
A Sanford woman was arrested Tuesday on charges related to the use of silicone injections for cosmetic reasons.
Residents on 20th Street in Sanford saw federal agents raid 46-year-old Deanna Roberts’ home.
Investigators said Roberts injected someone in the buttocks last November in North Georgia.
The victim, identified only by the initials L.H., died, and investigators said, “the death of L.H. resulted from the use of the liquid silicone obtained by the defendant.”
Two days after the alleged injection, a popular Atlanta drag performer with the stage name Lateasha Shuntel died, and there was talk that the death was related to silicone injections.
Shuntel’s death made headlines in the Atlanta area.
Her real name was Lateasha Hall, and on the day of the alleged injections, the victim tagged Roberts in a Facebook post, saying, “I don’t think my (expletive) will ever stop hurting, but I have no doubt you are the best in the business.”
Prosecutors said that beginning in 2004, Roberts started buying liquid silicone from an Arizona company called Factor II.
They said she bought 178 gallons over the past 11 years and frequently traveled to inject people with the silicone.
She is facing criminal charges because the silicone she was using isn’t approved by the FDA for use on humans.
SMH…these injections just aren’t worth it ladies, don’t do it!
