Tekia Turner was 21 and from Gadsden when she was killed in a drive-by shooting in Birmingham on May 18, 2017. She was visiting a friend and was a passenger in a tan car as they prepared to leave a location off Woodland Avenue. As the vehicle was reversing, another car pulled up alongside and occupants opened fire. Turner was struck and was described by the driver as unresponsive and bleeding from her mouth; the driver was unharmed.

The driver could not provide a description of the suspect vehicle. By about a year after the shooting, investigators reported no leads or suspects, and the case remained cold. Turner’s family marked the anniversary of her death still seeking answers and justice.

If anyone was in the area of Woodland Avenue on May 18, 2017, or has information about the tan car or the shooting, please share what is known.
