Shakeya Smith, 20, was found dead on a sidewalk at the entrance to the Roxwood Park subdivision in Buford, Georgia, in the early morning of September 12, 2020. A motorist discovered her about 5 a.m. and alerted authorities. Investigators noted visible injuries and bleeding; the exact cause of death was not immediately apparent. Neighbors reported hearing at least one gunshot overnight.

Detectives recovered neighborhood security camera footage that captured the fatal incident and used that video to identify a suspect, 25-year-old Moses Dyl, described as Smith’s boyfriend. Warrants were issued charging Dyl with felony murder and aggravated assault after he fled the scene and was considered armed and dangerous. He was later located and arrested in Atlantic City, New Jersey, and held in the Atlantic County Jail. Smith’s family remembered her as bright and loving, with hopes of buying a home and attending college.

If anyone has information about Smith, her movements that night, or the area around Roxwood Park, please come forward.
