HOUSTON – The family of an 18-year old woman found dead along Buffalo Bayou near downtown is demanding justice.
The victim’s body, identified as Tierra Horn, was discovered Friday after she was reported missing by family members the day before.
“I would say the hardest part for me is, I just been thinking like what did she last eat, what were her thoughts when she was being killed, did she yell for help, you know basically just like what were her last moments,” said her big sister Rokeisha Calton.
Calton told KPRC 2 she last spoke to Horn on Tuesday while they were planning her 19th birthday party.
“We are just trying to make sense of it all,” Calton said.
The Harris County Institute of Forensic Sciences conducted an autopsy and ruled Horn’s death a homicide.
“All I know is compression of the neck, that’s basically all I was told,” said Calton.
The Houston Police Department is investigating the case but have yet to release any details on a possible motive or suspect.
If you have any information in this case you are urged to contact the Houston Police Department’s homicide division at 713-308-3600.
KPRC 2′s Bill Barajas will have more on this story tonight at 10.
