A remains of a tattooed young mom who chronicled her fitness routine on TikTok has been discovered after she vanished from a Georgia Walmart.
Angel DeJesus Rivera-Sanches, 24, was arrested Monday, the day before 25-year-old Minelys Zoe Rodriguez-Ramirezs body was discovered near to the Walmart where she disappeared on October 22.
Officials said Rodriguez-Ramirez was identified by her distinctive tattoos but are still awaiting a full autopsy, after her remains were found following an exhaustive multi-day search that included the FBI.
Investigators have not issued a motive for why Rivera-Sanches allegedly killed the mother-of-one. The manner of her death was also not disclosed.

Angel DeJesus Rivera-Sanches, 24, was arrested Tuesday and charged in connection with Rodriguez-Ramirezs death the day after her body was found
The last time Rodriguez-Ramirezs family heard from the 24-year-old was the night of October 22, when she visited a Walmart to exchange a photograph she had taken with an acquaintance.
A cashier at the Walmart said Minelys entered the Walmart that evening around 9:30pm, and she had been texting her fiancé Julio Tovor at the same time as he went to sleep.
Tevor said he woke up to find Minelys hadnt come home, and realized her last text didnt appear right - she had texted him: I am waiting for the brother to pick him up.
It didn’t make sense. She doesn’t talk like that, Tevor told Now Habersham.

Her family urgently appealed for answers as authorities launched a search, which soon uncovered her vehicle pulled over to the side of a road near the Walmart.
According to Now Habersham, witnesses said they saw a dark-colored SUV and a gold or yellow minivan next to Minelys vehicle at some point.
The search came to a tragic conclusion as Minelys remains were discovered in a remote area near a road parallel to the Walmart where she was last seen.
Officials have not determined any cause of death and said the young mothers remains will undergo an autopsy with the medical examiners office, and have not indicated the manner in which she was allegedly murdered.
The arrest of Rivera-Sanches came as news of Rodriguez-Ramirezs discovery was announced, and he was charged with one count of kidnapping.
Rodriguez-Ramirezs family said she was a native of Puerto Rico who was affectionately known as Mimi
Authorities indicated that they expect to bring additional charges against the suspect as they continue their investigation.
It was not clear if cops believe the suspected killer knew his victim or if it was a random alleged crime.
Originally from Puerto Rico, Minelyss family said she had a nine-year-old daughter and had moved to America for work six years ago.
