Police: Roommate Teon Graham confesses to killing man, dumping body behind club

The body of a 25-year-old Atlanta man; who has been missing for more than a week; has been found in Alabama, according to police.

The family of Tion Casterman sent WSB-TV several pictures and wanted people to know he was giving, determined and inspired others to be a success.

But officials said something snapped in Casterman's roommate, Teon Graham.

"At this point, I don't know what caused this for him to kill his roommate," Bibb County, Alabama district attoey Michael Jackson said.

Police said Casterman and Graham left an East Point apartment May 2. It was the last time anyone saw Casterman alive. Investigators think the two came back to their southwest Atlanta duplex where a fight ended in gunfire.

"Teon Graham had confessed to murdering him in Atlanta. (Graham) said he dumped the body off in West Blocton, Alabama," Jackson said.

Jackson said Graham drove 185 miles from Atlanta to West Blocton and dumped his roommate's body behind an old nightclub and then drove on to Louisiana where he attempted to hide at a friend's house.

He was arrested nearly a week later.

Channel 2's Liz Artz was there Friday as detectives collected evidence from the apartment.

With three states involved, it's unclear which will prosecute Graham.

"At some point, he'll be extradited back to Alabama," Jackson said. "At that point, there will be a determination made about which jurisdiction will be bringing possible murder charges."
