Woman Indicted for Giving Fatal Silicone Injection to Drag Performer

Deanna M. Roberts, of Sanford, Fla., was indicted on federal charges for allegedly giving illegal silicone injections, including a fatal injection to Lateasha Shuntel. So reports The New York Daily News.

Shuntel was an Atlanta-based drag performer who died in November after apparently getting a cosmetic butt injection from Roberts.

Roberts is charged with possessing and transporting silicone across state lines and injecting it into the hips and lips, among other body parts, of her patients. Initially, Shuntel's death was not considered foul play, until some noticed a Facebook post that indicated she may have received an injection from Roberts. Roberts, considered a danger to the community, is being held without bond.
