A Georgia delivery driver reported missing was found dismembered inside a plastic tub and wrapped in trash bags by members of her own family earlier this week.
Shanteria Mosley, 26, worked as a DoorDash driver, police said. She left her Atlanta home Wednesday morning and did not return. Investigators said she was not logged in or accepting deliveries on the day she disappeared.
Worried about her safety, Mosley’s relatives tracked her phone to the Park Valley Apartments complex in Smyrna.
The family searched nearby woods and grassy areas before finding Mosley’s car and contacting police, her aunt Michelle Weaver told 11 Alive News.
Weaver said the responding officers did not remain at the scene for long, leaving after knocking on the doors of only three men, according to her account.
The relatives continued their search, 11 Alive reported. When they returned to Mosley’s vehicle, they noticed a man watching them from a window inside the apartment complex.
The family knocked on the man’s door, but he told them he had not seen anyone leave Mosley’s car.
Weaver later saw the same man, identified as 18-year-old Kingston Bradley, carrying what appeared to be a laundry bag containing a plastic tub. She said Bradley dropped the bag before running away.

It remains unclear whether Mosley and Bradley knew each other or why Mosley went to the Smyrna address
“All we see is the boy,” Weaver said, according to 11Alive.
She described seeing him throw down a cloth bag, possibly a laundry bag, containing what appeared to be a container before fleeing.
Mosley’s relatives then discovered her dismembered torso inside the container.
Police arrested Bradley after finding blood stains and a large, bloodied saw inside his apartment.
Investigators also reported finding a mop bucket, a mop, a carpet cleaner and the smell of bleach in the apartment.
On Friday, police said they searched a vehicle and discovered garbage bags in its trunk.
One of the bags had been pulled tightly enough to reveal the outline of what appeared to be a body part, police said.
“Based on the information we have at this time, we do believe the victim to be Shanteria Mosley, known as ‘KT’ by her friends and family,” police said.
Smyrna Police Lieutenant Meredith Holt called the case “a particularly gruesome crime” and said she could not imagine what Mosley’s family was enduring.
‘I know that they are looking for answers and grieving at the same time. We’re continuing to work this case.’

Bradley was charged with concealing the death of another and murder and is being held without bond.
The 18-year-old has a history of violence, according to 11 Alive News.
In a case dating back to December 2024, Bradley was charged with two counts of terroristic threats, battery, simple battery and criminal trespass-damage to property following an alleged fight with his father.
Warrants and an indictment in that case allege Bradley hit his father with an Xbox controller, broke down his bedroom door and smashed a window when he pushed ‘a 15-year-old male juvenile into the window.’
The terroristic threats charge arose from Bradley allegedly ‘suggesting the death’ of his father, according to the indictment.
The case was indicted in February. Bradley, who was treated as a juvenile defendant, was released from jail on a $3,500 bond.
His bond conditions included no alcohol or drug consumption, no firearms and no further violent contact with either his father or the juvenile who was pushed into the window.
Another court filing stated that Bradley was pursuing admission for inpatient mental health treatment.
Bradley pleaded not guilty at an April arraignment. He is scheduled for a calendar call on October 6.

After Mosley’s family found her torso inside the plastic tub, police later discovered other parts of her body in bags
Bradley’s father, Ken Williams, addressed the allegations against his son.
First and foremost I’m sending my deepest condolences to the family of the young lady and her family,’ Williams wrote in a Facebook post.
‘Kingston has been dealing with mental illness for the past 6 years. Everyone who knows me knows that I work 10-12 hours daily. If I’m not at my regular job I’m somewhere doing a side job.’
‘Like you I have many questions as to the specifics of what happened, when and where. What I can say for certain is that I had no involvement with this incident nor had any knowledge of the incident,’ Williams said, claiming that he did not know the victim or her family prior to the killing.
Williams also added that he is cooperating with detectives and ‘not on the run.’
Authorities are still investigating whether or not Bradley and Mosley knew each other.
When asked how she wants her niece to be remembered, Weaver said: ‘With her smiles, laughter, and just full of joy, and talking crap to everybody, and just being happy, cheering everybody day up.’
