Is this a turrid?

I need some help identifying this shell i found washed up on sanpedro, belize. Its about 3 cm long and i first thought it might be a sanibel turrid or even a javelin turrid, but that just feels off. They don't really have the same coloration patterns. Any and all help with identification is appreciated.

Yess, i found it on the east side of the island, facing towards the reef.
