A 43-year-old Cleveland man is wanted for the aggravated murder of Adrianna K. Taylor, whose body was found Thanksgiving night in a Wilkinsburg backyard.

An arrest warrant was issued for Anthony Kennedy, 43, in connection with Taylor’s death.

Taylor, 23, was initially listed as missing by Cleveland police on Nov. 13, and her family told police they had not heard from her since early October. Allegheny County medical examiners said Taylor died of a gunshot wound to the head. The case has been declared a homicide.

“If anyone knows anything, report it to the police. Just report it because if it was your child, your cousin, your niece, you would want somebody to do the same,” Adrianna Taylor’s aunt, Terri Taylor told FOX 8 News in Cleveland. “Over the last few weeks, that is what I was going through. Like, where is she? What are they doing to her? I was praying that we found her alive, I was praying that.”

Crime Stoppers of Cuyahoga County has issued a $5,000 reward for information leading to Kennedy’s arrest. He is Black, 5-feet-6-inches tall and 180 pounds.
