Woman Wanted for Murder Nabbed by License Renewal Glitch
4 Oct
Summary
- Fugitive arrested after 17 years due to a driver's license renewal attempt.
- Suspect charged with felony murder in 2009 death after illegal silicone injection.
- Victim's family seeks justice and awareness about dangerous cosmetic procedures.
Tamaira Angell Smith, 52, has been arrested after being a fugitive for 17 years in connection with the 2009 death of Eyanna Moore, 29. Smith faces a felony murder charge in Georgia for allegedly injecting silicone into Moore's buttock at a hotel.
Moore died the day after the procedure. Her family stated that Smith and an associate posed as medical professionals, using stolen credentials. Smith fled after an arrest warrant was issued in 2009.
Smith's evasion ended when she attempted to renew a driver's license she obtained using a stolen identity in 2018. An alert on the license led investigators to her, uncovering the outstanding murder warrant.
Officers located Smith in Texas, leading to her arrest in August. A bond hearing is scheduled for October 22. Moore's family hopes for justice and increased awareness regarding illegal cosmetic procedures.
