Teen Arrested After Dismembered Torso Found in Georgia Apartment Complex

Shanteria “Tia” Mosely, 26, went missing after leaving home in Georgia to make DoorDash deliveries, and relatives told local media they believe she is the woman whose dismembered torso was found in a plastic tub at the Park Valley apartment complex in Smyrna. Authorities have not officially identified the victim, pending DNA testing. Police arrested 18-year-old Kingston Lammar Bradley after a witness reportedly saw him drop the tub; a search of his apartment uncovered bloodstains, a blood-covered saw, cleaning supplies and a strong odor of bleach. Bradley is being held without bond on a charge of concealing a death. Police have not charged anyone with killing the woman and describe Bradley as a person of interest as the investigation continues.
Mosely’s relatives said they tracked her phone to the apartment complex and spoke with Bradley, who allegedly told them he had not seen her. Her aunt, Michelle Weaver, said she was the witness who saw him moving the tub.
A Cobb County judge ordered Bradley held without bond after determining that he posed a danger to the community. He also faces separate charges of battery and making terroristic threats; he is presumed innocent unless proven guilty.
Police said it remains unclear whether the woman whose torso was found was the subject of the missing-person investigation, how she died, or whether additional charges will be filed.
A neighbor described feeling spooked by the discovery and said they would remain afraid until more answers emerged.
