Fugitive's license-renewal help call ends 17-year run in Georgia death case

A woman who fled Georgia 17 years ago over a fatal unlicensed procedure was caught in Texas after a call for help with her license renewal.

• Tamaira Angel Smith, 52, was arrested in Texas and returned to Gwinnett County, Georgia, to face charges in the death of Iyana Moore.
• Gwinnett County police allege Smith's unlicensed silicone injection of Moore on May 30, 2009, caused her death the next day.
• Smith obtained a South Carolina driver's license in November 2018 using another woman's stolen identity.
• In July 2026, Smith contacted the South Carolina DMV after a system alert blocked her online license renewal, prompting the investigation.
