Jareesa Porchia, 19, was found dead in a ditch on Old Getwell Road in Memphis on June 23, 2020. She was originally from Camden, Arkansas. Authorities determined she died of a gunshot wound to the head.

Investigators say Porchia had been sex trafficked for several months by 31-year-old Robert J. Holmes of Whitehaven, who allegedly arranged encounters in which she was forced to perform sex acts for money. Police say Holmes shot her in the backseat of a van the night she died and later discarded her body in the ditch.

A witness identified as S. Johnson told police Holmes forced him to help dump Porchia’s body, identified Holmes in a photo lineup, and led officers to where her belongings had been discarded. Holmes later turned himself in and was indicted on charges including first-degree murder, aggravated kidnapping, trafficking for commercial sex acts, and possession of a firearm during a dangerous felony. He is being held in the Shelby County Jail awaiting trial.

Did anyone in the Memphis area see Jareesa in the months before June 23, 2020, or have information about her movements that night?
