18 years old -- the end date for far too many

ATLANTA -

18.

It is such a symbolic number for young people. It means their first foray into adulthood. It means no more high school. It sometimes means freedom from the clutches of hovering parents.

18.

It also means you are teetering on leaving your teens. And stepping into the rest of your life.

18.

Sadly, for too many… the steps end there. The rest of too many young lives come to a screeching halt.

At 18.

Let that sink in. We are losing young people more than ever. Teens who have so much to offer. So much talent going to the grave.

The city of Houston just had 6 people under the age of 17 lose their lives to gun violence over 3 weeks.

We often hear children are our greatest resource. Yet too many of us sit idly by as we lose this most precious commodity.

Gone forever.

At 18.
WSB-
She would give you the shirt off her back. She was still governed by the age of innocence. Too young to recognize that evil lurks around too many corners. Just itching to reach out and slay your soul. Leave you lifeless. Usually for nothing. Instead she was baffled by the beauty of butterflies. Her room littered with pictures of them. Talya Torres dreamed of flying freely like a butterfly. In all her splendor, in her innocent beauty, she wanted to take flight…and explore the world with no cares or worries."

True, those fancy little shoes do not seem like a good footwear choice for someone planning to set a car on fire with a teen girl inside of it, imo

No different to me is a criminal and needs to be stopped.

I doubt this was planned. Some scum bucket who did something reprehensible and tried to cover up his guilt immediately afterwards without time to change his pretty shoes. Somebody knows. They NEED to tell.

Just came across this Florida cold case that likely has nothing to do with this one, but noting because it involves a huge car fire with bodies found inside.
Fwiw, speculation.

Witnesses remain silent while St. Augustine double murder remains unsolved
"Shot to death and then set on fire. That was the scene detectives responded to on Nov. 16, 2016, in the small neighborhood of West Augustine."
“Fire rescue came, put out the fire and that’s when it was discovered that two bodies were inside,” said Ochkie".
"The bodies belonged to 27-year-old Charles Durden and 26-year-old Staffon Larry."
"She called the suspect or suspects “cold and calculating” and “trying to definitely cover their tracks.”
rbbm.

What kind of person not only murders but in a despicable act takes away a parent's last time to hug them, touch their face and say a final goodbye? Why are there no news updates about Tayla?

 

[Catmommy]

Why hasn't this gotten more exposure?

 

[Wild Rose]

I hope they lifted prints from the car and I hope they looked at gas station surveillance for the accelerant, omg. They have great pics. Did anyone go through any mugshots for a match???

‘Heartless’: Friend allegedly shot 18-year-old before setting car ablaze

OMG!
A friend, a good friend did that to Talya, hate to think of what a "bad " friend would do?!
From link, thanks.

"A good friend of an 18-year-old woman who was found dead in her burning car in East Point last month was arrested and accused of killing her, authorities said."

"Torres’ mother, Pearlier Haynes, told Channel 2 Action News that Hyman-Bozeman was like a part of the family and even called her after news of her daughter’s death broke.
“And he broke down crying — boo hoo crying,” she said. “He was like, ‘Momma, no. Tell me you’re lying. Tell me this isn’t true.’”
"Police said he shot her over a money dispute, while Haynes said he was upset her daughter wouldn’t date him."

 

[Catmommy]

He killed his "friend", consoled her mother and ran his mouth about what he'd done. Somebody knew. Somebody told. Justice for Talya. Maximum sentence for her betrayer.

COLLEGE STUDENT MURDERED: Friend arrested in murder of college student found in burning car, mother says
"Police said they received a tip that one of her friends had been talking about her death and had burns on his hands.

Officers say Kington Hyman-Bozeman later confessed to shooting Tayla Torres before he and another man burned her body.

Only Channel 2's Tom Jones was at the courthouse for Hyman-Bozeman's first appearance as Bozeman learned he is now facing malice murder charges."

Court documents obtained by Jones indicate that Hyman-Bozeman called the man after the murder and suggested getting a gas can to set the victim's car on fire.

"Does Georgia have (the) death penalty? We do. OK. Well. We gonna push for that," Haynes said.

Charges are pending against both men for arson in Fulton County."

 

[Catmommy]

Push, Haynes, push!

 

[Wild Rose]

There is some justice for the young woman, and my heart breaks for her and her mother. I wish I could hug her mom for having to bear this all.
