In the early hours of a January morning in 2019, firefighters in East Point found the body of 18-year-old Talya Torres inside a car that had been set on fire on Connally Drive. Talya had recently graduated high school and moved to be closer to college; she was pronounced dead at the scene and investigators determined she had been murdered.

Authorities linked Talya’s death to the use of her debit card hours after the vehicle was torched. Surveillance from a BB&T ATM at Camp Creek Marketplace showed a man using the card; the footage captured distinctive shoes and was released to the public. A tip identified the man as 24-year-old Kingston Hyman-Bozeman, a close family friend who reportedly had burns on his hands. Investigators say Hyman-Bozeman was with Talya the night she died and shot her during a dispute over money; police allege he then drove to a different location and set the car on fire.

Hyman-Bozeman was arrested and charged with malice murder; police say he confessed to the shooting and named another man, Austin Sanders, who was later charged with arson and concealing a death. Talya’s mother believes a rejected romantic advance may have been the motive. Does anyone have information about Talya’s last movements or the people she was with that night?
