Summary
South Carolina investigators arrested Tamaira Angell Smith in Texas after a 2026 driver’s license renewal request exposed the 52-year-old fugitive’s stolen identity and outstanding Georgia felony murder warrant.
A July DMV contact over an online renewal alert led SLED to open an identity-fraud case in August; facial recognition tied the license to Smith and uncovered another alias in McKinney, Texas.
Georgia authorities say Smith fled in 2009 after allegedly injecting silicone into 29-year-old Eyanna Moore at a Stone Mountain-area hotel; Moore died the next day and a felony murder warrant followed months later.
Smith has been extradited to Gwinnett County Jail, where a bond hearing is set for Oct. 22.
Moore’s family, who said the fake providers used stolen credentials, hopes the case brings justice and warns others about the risks of illegal silicone injections.
