    State to seek death penalty if two suspects convicted in heinous crime

    The suspect chanted, "eenie, meenie, minie, mo, someone's gotta go," before killing the woman, detectives said

    ATLANTA — Editor's note: Some of the details in this story are graphic.

    The state has filed documents requesting the two suspects involved in the heinous death of a woman brutally executed at gunpoint be sentenced to death if convicted.

    Roy Hill, also known as Pressure, and Anthony Goss, known as Zero, are the suspects facing the death penalty if convicted for what is described in the 25-page document as "statutory aggravating circumstances."

    In September, one detective described how a carjacking in August progressed into a night of sexual torture for three victims and, eventually, 21-year-old Te'a Denise Liger's death, during a preliminary hearing for accused murderer Goss Sept. 6.

    Goss is accused of murder, rape, and faces a number of other charges in the tragic killings and tortures.

    Det. Michael Young of the Atlanta Police Department described the hours of sexual violence that preceded her death and which a prosecutor called "some of the most horrific facts that the state has ever heard."

    Young said it began as a carjacking, with Goss and an alleged accomplice, Roy Hill, accosting Liger's roommates at gunpoint as they left their apartment in the early morning of Aug. 23 as they headed to their car to go to a market.

    The Atlanta detective said after holding the unnamed witnesses, a boyfriend and girlfriend, and taking their phones, they forced them back into the apartment, where Liger was sleeping, at gunpoint.

    What progressed from there was an unthinkable three-hour stretch of psychological and sexual torture and the execution-style killing of Liger, chosen at random as Goss allegedly taunted the three victims while they were forced to kneel together under a mattress.

    "Eeenie, meenie, minie, mo, someone's gotta go," he chanted, Det. Young testified.

    Young said before Liger was killed, Goss and Hill forced the three roommates into various sexual acts with each other at gunpoint, before he raped the second female victim while Liger was tied up in a closet. The torture continued for three hours.

    The other two victims survived due to the boyfriend's action, Young testified.

    Both defendants were scheduled to appear in court Wednesday, Dec. 18, but it was canceled. The reschedule date has not been set.

    ‘Eeny meeny miny mo’: Detective says 2 men shot, killed college student at random

    “They placed the male inside of a bathtub. One of the suspects was told to watch him, and they made all the victims strip their clothes,” Young said.

    The other woman was allegedly raped before she and her boyfriend were forced to their knees with their heads down in an execution-style position, Channel 2 reported. At that point, the two suspects are accused of making a game out of their suffering.

    “They pulled the mattress over (the victims’) heads and played a game: Eeny meeny miny mo, someone has got to go,” Young said in court, adding that Goss was the man who spoke the nursery rhyme.

    Young said Goss then asked Hill, “Didn’t you say you wanted to kill somebody?” Hill allegedly replied “no,” but Goss is accused of saying, “Somebody has got to go,” before shooting Liger in the head.

    The two suspects then got into a fight, allowing the other female victim to escape and call police, according to testimony. The suspects fled before officers arrived. About 6 a.m., Liger was rushed to a hospital but did not survive.

    Police: Discovery of burnt body leads to arrest of two men responsible for at least three homicides

    By Elizabeth Nouryeh-Clay

    The discovery of a charred body led to the arrest of two men responsible for at least three other homicides, including the rape and death of a Clark Atlanta University student in 2019, according to police.

    Anthony Laquan Goss, 31, and Roy Hill, 20, both remain in the Fulton County Jail, each charged with murder, aggravated assault, kidnapping, armed robbery, arson and possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony.

    Using cell phone data to tie suspects to the nearly two-year-old crime scene, City of South Fulton police were able to arrest and charge the pair of men, who investigators say kidnapped, robbed and shot the victim.

    Police say both face a litany of charges from other agencies stemming from a shooting and three other homicides, including the rape and murder of a Clark Atlanta University student in 2019.

    Investigators say Goss and Hill encountered Vincent Marsh, 55, on July 16 as he took out the garbage near his home on Pleasant Hill Road. Security camera footage later shows Marsh being forced at gunpoint to withdraw cash from a Bank of America ATM on Old National Highway.

    “We think he was pistol whipped because he was bleeding form his head,” lead investigator on the case Detective J. King said.

    Police later found Marsh’s body in the back seat of a car that had been set afire at the intersection of Pleasant Ridge and Old National. Marsh was so badly burned that the Fulton County Medical Examiner’s Office had to use dental records to make a positive identification.

    King said Marsh had been shot in the head and that officers recovered a .40-caliber bullet from the car.

    In the following months, police followed numerous leads and were close to a resolution when East Point police found numerous weapons, including a .40-caliber handgun, and cellphones in a rental car in which Goss and Hill were riding. They tried earlier to return the car, which was riddled with bullet holes.

    When asked to file a damage report, the men left the rental company – still in the car – and were stopped later, after the company notified police. Police say both men were questioned about the Marsh case, but were released because of lack of key evidence.

    Goss was arrested later for an outstanding warrant in Henry County. While incarcerated there, he bragged to a cellmate about a body burned in a car on Old National Highway, according to King.

    Then, after a GBI ballistics expert matched the handgun found during the traffic stop to the bullet discovered with Marsh’s body, police began to close in on the suspects.

    “Our investigators have put in countless hours working tirelessly to solve these cases and bring closure to the families of victims like Mr. Marsh,” Police Chief Keith Meadows said. “Their efforts help us every day to live up to our mission of keeping South Fulton residents safe.”

    They turned to technology to finally solve the case.

    “One of the cell phones found in the car during the traffic stop showed in its internet history a search for a burned body,” King said, adding that another cellphone pinged to Hill’s home.

    Using tracking data from the phone, investigators were able to trace the whereabouts of Goss and Hill on the night of the murder. The information showed a clear path that started from where Marsh was abducted, meandered around the area for a few hours and ended where Marsh’s body was found.

    South Fulton officers found both Goss and Hill in jail in a separate case on April 1.

    “It’s exciting to be able to use technology to solve cases like this,” King said. “But the best part was making the call to the family of Mr. Marsh. We can never bring the loved one back, but we can let the family know that justice will be served."
