A late-summer double homicide in Memphis ended the lives of 60-year-old Anneria Turman and her 15-year-old grandson, Syquavius Hoyett. On August 17, 2023, Turman’s body was found in woods near Silas and Eyers Road; she had been fatally shot in the back of the head. Bloodstains at Turman’s Glenbrook Avenue residence suggested a violent struggle.

Authorities arrested her 41-year-old boyfriend, Herman Hollins-Brown, after finding him driving Turman’s car, which had blood on the trunk and bumper. A witness told investigators Hollins-Brown forced him at gunpoint to help dispose of both bodies, first leaving Turman in the woods and later retrieving Syquavius’s body to conceal it; Syquavius’s body was found on August 20 near Weaver and Little Weaver in Westwood. Hollins-Brown was charged with two counts of first-degree murder, two counts of abuse of a corpse, and being a convicted felon in possession of a handgun and was held without bond.

Did anyone in the Memphis area know either victim or see suspicious activity around Glenbrook Avenue or the Silas and Eyers Road area in mid-August 2023?
