Boyfriend Of Pregnant Delco Mom Shot Her, Dumped Body: DA

UPPER DARBY, PA — Authorities have now issued an arrest warrant for the boyfriend of a Delaware County pregnant mother who was found shot to death in South Philadelphia.

According to the Philadelphia District Attorney's Office, authorities are looking for Justin Smith, 23, who they say pulled the trigger in the shooting death of Dianna Brice.

Smith is the boyfriend of Brice, the 21-year-old pregnant mother from Lansdowne who was reported missing then found dead in Philadelphia near 58th Street and Lindbergh Boulevard in Southwest Philadelphia.

Brice was last seen leaving K Laundry, 544 Church Lane in Lansdowne, with her Smith at about 1 p.m. March 30.

Later that day, Smith's vehicle was found on fire near 59th and Florence streets in Philadelphia.

Brice's body was located not far from where Smith's burned vehicle was found.

Tylydia Garnett, 21, of Philadelphia, was arrested Saturday by Philadelphia Police in connection with Brice's death.

The DA's office said Garnett helped Smith after Brice was killed, saying she bought gasoline then took it to garage that Smith used and was seen on video loading a heavy object, allegedly Brice's body, into her vehicle.

Authorities said she then followed Smith to where Brice's body was left, then followed him to where he set his vehicle on fire. The DA's office said they believe Brice was shot and killed in Smith's vehicle.

Garnett was arrested in Miami, Florida and has been charged with arson, abuse of a corpse, tampering with evidence, possession of an instrument of crime, conspiracy, and criminal use of a communications facility.

Anyone with any info on the whereabouts of Smith should contact Philadelphia Police at 215-686-8477.
