Fiance Arrested After Pregnant Johns Creek Teen's Body Found

JOHNS CREEK, GA — The body of a former Northview High School student was found earlier this week and her fiance was charged with her murder.

Aldeyshaun Locklear, 18, was arrested Wednesday on charges of felony murder, aggravated assault related to strangulation and concealing a death, the AJC reported. He was reportedly the last person to see his 19-year-old fiance, Téa Choates, alive.

Choates' body was found Tuesday night after she was missing for a week. She had been strangled and buried in the woods near the Lithonia home she shared with her grandmother and fiance, DeKalb County police told the AJC.

Much of Choates’ childhood was spent in Johns Creek, including her attending Northview High School, the AJC said.

Choates' cause of death has not yet been determined by the DeKalb County Medical Examiner’s office. According to police, Locklear allegedly confessed to killing her after an argument and burying her body, the AJC reported.

A GoFundMe has been set up to pay for Choates' funeral costs.
