Tanyana Elliot, a 33-year-old Black woman, was last seen by her family on the evening of Monday, June 18, 2012. Her decomposed body was found two days later, on June 20, 2012, inside a pickup truck at the Wind Run Apartments in the 12100 block of the North I-10 Service Road in New Orleans. The discovery prompted a homicide investigation.

An obituary appeared in The Times-Picayune on June 28, 2012. The specific cause of death has not been widely publicized, and there have been no public announcements about arrests or identified suspects. Family and community members continue to seek answers about how Tanyana’s life was taken.
