In late spring 2017, 19-year-old Kaliel C. Bey was shot in Aiken, South Carolina, and found in the parking lot of an apartment complex on the evening of May 26 with gunshot wounds to his head and neck. He was taken to a hospital and died the following day. Both Bey and the man later accused in the case were residents of Aiken.

Investigators identified 20-year-old Tobias Thomas as the primary suspect and believed he had left the state. On June 15, 2017, authorities located and arrested Thomas at a residence in Decatur, Georgia; he was held in the DeKalb County jail pending extradition to Aiken to face a murder charge. No motive had been publicly disclosed at the time.

If anyone in Aiken or Decatur had information about Bey’s activities or movements around May 26, 2017, or about Thomas’s whereabouts before his June 15 arrest, please share what you know.
