A 21-year old entrepreneur who ran her own salon in Baltimore is dead days after she told authorities she feared for her life — now her family is asking the public for help to bring the young owner’s killer(s) to justice.
According to local ABC affiliate WMAR reports, Destiny Harrison was found shot in the head at her place of business, the Madam D Beauty Bar, on Saturday (Dec. 21) shortly after 6 PM.
The young mother of a 1-year old daughter was taken to an area hospital where she later died.
Authorities shared that twelve days before her death, Harrison’s business was broken into.
She filed charges against two people who lived near her salon after she caught them in the back of her business stealing merchandise.
Harrison’s written testimony described how one of the suspects allegedly held her down while the other one hit and stomped on her after she demanded her property back, WMAR reports.
The suspects allegedly fled with $3,000 worth of “expensive hair extensions.”
