A roommate dispute over $5,000 ended in the murder of 25-year-old Tion Casterman in Atlanta in May 2014. Casterman and his roommate, Teon Graham, had argued over proceeds from a fraudulent student loan they had obtained together. When Casterman refused to hand over the money Graham demanded, Graham shot him once in the back of the head inside their shared apartment.

After the killing, Graham contacted a mutual female friend, confessed, and sent her a photograph of Casterman’s body. He then forced another friend at gunpoint to help place the body in the trunk of Casterman’s car and later drove to West Blocton, Alabama, where the body was discarded in a wooded area. Graham subsequently traveled to Houma, Louisiana, and was arrested on an unrelated Alabama larceny warrant. During an interview with detectives he admitted to the killing and identified where the body had been left; investigators recovered a .380 caliber pistol later matched to the bullet and found a large amount of Casterman’s blood in the trunk of his car.

Does anyone have information about Casterman’s life in Atlanta or knew him and can help fill in missing details?
