Story summary

On Wednesday evening in Smyrna, Georgia, Kingston Lammar Bradley, an 18-year-old resident of the Park Valley apartment complex, was arrested by police after being seen walking with a plastic tub containing human remains. When he noticed someone watching him, Bradley dropped the tub and fled to his nearby apartment unit. Police discovered the dismembered torso of Shanteria "Tia" Mosely, a 26-year-old DoorDash driver who had gone missing earlier that day.

Mosley's family had been searching for her after she didn't return home from work and her phone pinged near the complex where her car was found. After locating her vehicle, they saw Bradley carrying what appeared to be a plastic tub and notified authorities. Inside the dropped tub, police found Mosely’s dismembered torso, while a subsequent search of Bradley's apartment revealed bloodstains and a large bloody saw.

Bradley faces charges including concealing death, terroristic threats, battery, simple battery, and criminal trespass-damage to property. The case has shocked local law enforcement officials who described it as particularly gruesome compared to their previous homicide cases.
