Porsha Marie Lloyd, a 25-year-old African American woman, was found dead in her car in Shallotte, North Carolina, on March 25, 2022. The Shallotte Police Department responded to a report of a single-vehicle crash on Whiteville Road around 4:30 a.m. that morning. Upon arrival, officers found two uninjured passengers in a car that had crashed into a ditch. Two hours later, police returned to the scene after a passerby reported the car was still in the ditch with unresponsive passengers inside. One woman was "extremely intoxicated," and the other, identified as Porsha Lloyd, was dead with a single gunshot wound to the head.
Porsha Lloyd's death has been the subject of an ongoing investigation by the Shallotte Police Department. The second woman found in the car was 24-year-old Destiny Scott, who was also Porsha's half-sister. The two women were from the Raleigh area. Porsha's mother had reported her missing on March 24, the day before the women were found in Shallotte. A "Be on the Look Out" call for Lloyd and her vehicle was issued to localities in the Mebane area, but officers responding to the single-vehicle crash that morning were unaware she was a missing person.
The circumstances surrounding Porsha Lloyd's death remain unclear. The Shallotte Police Department has not yet determined whether her death was a suicide or a homicide. A firearm was discovered in the car, but no arrests have been made, and no suspects have been identified. The investigation is ongoing, and authorities continue to seek information related to the case.
Porsha Lloyd was a loving mother and daughter, leaving behind four children: two daughters and two sons. She was previously registered to vote in Alamance County with a Burlington address. Her obituary highlights her dedication to her family and her enjoyment of spending time with her kids, family, and friends.
