Anthony Bowden was arrested Tuesday and charged in the death of Erykah Tijerina, 36, formerly Eric, whose body was found with “obvious signs of foul play,” Aug. 8, according to an El Paso Police Department news release. Bowden is being held in El Paso County Jail on a $750,000 bond, according to online county records.

Tijerina’s body was found at the 200 block of Lisbon Street in El Paso and forensic evidence later led to Bowden’s arrest, according to the release. Tijerina’s cause of death has not yet been released.
The Human Rights Campaign listed Tijerina as one of the 18 known transgender people who have been “fatally shot, stabbed and killed by other violent means,” so far this year. Her family set up a GoFundMe page to help with the funeral expenses for Tijerina. Cont.
