On Saturday, 9 May 2026, at approximately 1550 hrs I responded to the Edo Miller and Sons Funeral Home located at 3321 Glynn Avenue in reference to an assault.

Upon arrival, I spoke with the complainant. The complainant was identified as [VICTIM #1]. [VICTIM #1] stated that she had been assaulted earlier in the day by Chelsea Bostic over an online dispute on Instagram. The assault is being investigated under report number G26-28143.

After the assault, [VICTIM #1] was notified by an unknown individual that Zikiya Bostic had posted a sexually explicit photo of [VICTIM #1]. [VICTIM #1] then showed me the post and it contained an image of [VICTIM #1] performing oral sex on an unknown male. I provided [VICTIM #1] with an evidence.com link in order to provide the images.

The Instagram profile that made the post is “[REDACTED]” the profile is set to private and I am unable to view any identifying information on the account. I did send a preservation request to Meta Platforms in order to preserve any possible evidence.

A search warrant for the information and an interview of Zikiya Bostic will likely need to be conducted to further the investigation. At this time I do not have probable cause due to not having the identity of the account owner or knowing who has access to the Instagram account.

This concludes my involvement at this time.
