Authorities are hoping a cash reward will lead them to the killer of a hurricane evacuee recently featured in a national magazine for teens, KPRC Local 2 reported Thursday.

Tyeisha Cabrini Martin, 19, was found dead from a gunshot wound in a ditch in Needville near F.M. 361 and F.M. 1994 on March 9.

Martin was the subject of a cover story for Seventeen magazine's December issue, in which reporters talked about surviving Hurricane Katrina. She was living in the Houston area with her 2-year-old daghter.
