Shakema Toran, a 36-year-old Black mother of three from Augusta, Georgia, was last seen alive on July 31, 2024. She left her mother’s home that evening with her boyfriend of two months, 37-year-old Barritz Martin, after an argument prompted her mother to ask him to leave. He returned a few hours later to pick Toran up; she did not return to her family.

On August 4, 2024, police in Decatur, Georgia, found Toran’s body inside a white 2004 Ford F-250 in a Kroger parking lot on Wesley Chapel Road. An autopsy determined she died of a gunshot wound to the chest, and DeKalb County Police opened a homicide investigation. In the days after her disappearance, Toran’s mother received text messages from her daughter’s phone that she described as uncharacteristic and alarming.

Investigators identified Barritz Martin as a person of interest and reported he was being sought in connection with the case. What else can readers share about Shakema’s last known movements or anyone who might have seen her on July 31?
