Pourcia Turner, also known as Tierra Horn, was found dead near a hiking trail by Buffalo Bayou in Houston on June 13, 2008. Her body was discovered near Nance Street after family members had reported her missing on January 4. An autopsy at the Harris County Institute of Forensic Sciences concluded the cause of death was neck compression.

Investigators say the killing followed a violent dispute with Turner’s partner, Shania Laneice Turner. Court records describe a confrontation in which Shania, then 24, accused Horn of passing an STD, and the argument escalated into physical violence; prosecutors later charged her with murder. Surveillance footage and other evidence were cited during a probable cause hearing; bond was set at $100,000.

The case has been noted for its volatile relationship dynamics and for raising questions about domestic violence that turned deadly. If anyone knew Horn, where she spent time, or has information about the days leading up to her disappearance, please share what you know.
