An 18-year-old man, Kingston Lammar Bradley, was arrested and charged with malice murder following the discovery of the dismembered remains of 26-year-old DoorDash driver Shanteria ‘Tia’ Mosely in Smyrna, Georgia.

Mosely disappeared from her Atlanta home on a Wednesday morning. Her family tracked her phone to the Park Valley Apartments complex, where they located her vehicle. According to her aunt, Michelle Weaver, the family observed Bradley watching them from a window. Weaver alleged that Bradley attempted to flee after dropping a laundry bag containing a plastic tub, which the family found to contain Mosely’s remains.

Investigators searching Bradley’s apartment reported finding bloodstains, a large bloody saw, a mop bucket, a carpet cleaner, and the scent of bleach. Subsequent investigations revealed that additional remains were discovered in garbage bags in the trunk of a vehicle during the execution of a search warrant. 

The Smyrna Police Department characterized the incident as a ‘particularly gruesome crime’ and confirmed that Mosely was not actively logged into her delivery app at the time of her disappearance. Investigators believe the homicide occurred between 10 a.m. and noon on September 23. Bradley, who was already facing charges for concealing another death, is being held without bond at the Cobb County Jail as detectives continue to investigate.
