In a quiet Warner Robins, Georgia, apartment complex, a tragedy unfolded that would leave a family and community reeling. On a Sunday morning in May 2025, the lives of 29-year-old Ra'Dashia Boston and her 49-year-old mother, Virginia Boston, were brought to a violent end. The grim discovery was made by Ra'Dashia's own 5-year-old son, who, upon finding his mother and grandmother unresponsive, sought help from a neighbor who then alerted the authorities. When Houston County Sheriff's deputies arrived at The Pines apartment complex on Houston Lake Road, they found both women deceased inside their home.
The investigation into the double homicide quickly pointed to a suspect close to the family. Ra'Dashia's 29-year-old boyfriend, Rashad Williams, was identified as the person of interest. A multi-agency manhunt ensued, and later that same day, Williams was located and arrested without incident at a vacant farmhouse in Warwick, a town in a neighboring county. He was taken into custody and transported to the Houston County Detention Center, where he was charged with two counts of murder. Authorities have stated that they believe the killings were an act of domestic violence.
The sudden loss of both Ra'Dashia and Virginia left their family devastated. Described as a calm and nurturing woman, Virginia was a beloved mother and grandmother. Ra'Dashia, a mother herself, had been pursuing a career in nursing while raising her young son. Her sister expressed the family's profound grief and their focus on securing the future of her now-orphaned nephew. The community was left in shock by the brutal nature of the crime, with neighbors expressing their disbelief and sorrow over the incident. The case has highlighted the devastating impact of domestic violence, which has been a factor in a significant number of homicides in Houston County that year. The bodies of both Ra'Dashia and Virginia Boston were sent to the GBI Crime Lab for autopsies to determine the exact cause of death as the investigation continues.
