Tarica Ann Pulliam, 27, was shot and killed outside her Wilmington, North Carolina home on August 6, 2008. She worked as a detention officer for the New Hanover County Sheriff’s Office for two years and died at New Hanover Regional Medical Center. Pulliam left behind a 7-year-old daughter.

Authorities identified her ex-boyfriend, Anthony Antwan Bowen, 30, as the primary suspect and charged him with first-degree murder. Investigators said Pulliam had filed for a domestic violence protective order against Bowen in April 2008, alleging he had choked her until she nearly lost consciousness and punched her in the jaw; Bowen was charged in that incident with assault on a female, second-degree kidnapping, and assault by strangulation. He also faced a first-degree kidnapping charge in a separate case involving another woman.

After the killing, officials described Bowen as armed and dangerous and reported he was last seen driving a silver Ford Taurus with license plate VYE3086. Does anyone have information about Pulliam, her daughter, or the events around August 6, 2008?
