On October 20, 2017, Turner and his co-defendant Avery Lamont Goss kidnapped a Pensacola woman from her home after carjacking her fiancé at gunpoint and forcing him to take them to their home. The defendants demanded money and forced the victim to drive them around Pensacola for almost two hours before she was rescued.

Turner was identified in a photo lineup and was later arrested in Alabama.

Co-defendant Avery Lamont Goss was tried and convicted by the same jury of sexual battery with a weapon and battery in addition to burglary of a dwelling while armed with a dangerous weapon, two counts of robbery with a firearm; carjacking with a firearm; armed kidnapping; and false imprisonment with a weapon. The sentencing of Avery Lamont Goss is still pending.
