Kelia Olivia Horton was 22 when she was shot and killed on May 7, 2021, in Fayetteville, North Carolina. Horton, an active-duty soldier stationed at Fort Bragg, was found with a gunshot wound outside a home about 1:30 p.m.; she was taken to a hospital and pronounced dead.

Authorities charged 26-year-old Tiara Nicole Vinson, also an active-duty Fort Bragg soldier, with first-degree murder and discharging a firearm into occupied property. Investigators say the shooting was not random: Vinson and Horton were acquainted and the motive was linked to a romantic relationship. Vinson reportedly drove to the residence where Horton was and began shooting. Vinson was arrested and held without bond at the Cumberland County Detention Center; she had not entered a plea and it was unclear whether she had retained an attorney.

Horton’s family remembered her as sweet, giving, a mother of two, and proud to serve. Does anyone have information about Horton’s life, her time at Fort Bragg, or the events that day?
