Destiny Harrison: Woman Shot To Death Inside Her Baltimore Hair Salon
Destiny was the owner of the Madam D collection and worked at a beauty shop in Baltimore. Police are asking for anyone to come forward if they have information.
She was known professionally as Destiny or Madam D at her hair salon. Destiny Harrison, 21, was a rising entrepreneur who had a loyal following to people who frequented her business in the 200 block of N. Milton Avenue.
Her business , the Madam D Beauty Bar, was so popular that authorities are puzzled as to why senseless tragedy would befall her.
Police said that one or two gunmen came into Destiny’s salon on the night of Saturday, Dec. 21, 2019 and shot her in the head, according to local media accounts.
"She wanted to be known as a legend for doing hair, and I think she did that," Destiny's mother, Raquel Harrison told WBALTV. “Destiny loved her daughter; that was the light of her life. That was probably the most pivotal moment in her life, was her daughter."
Destiny Harrison had recently called the police due to a robbery and assault that evidently took place at her business. Court records indicate someone broke into her shop on Dec. 9.
Raquel Harrison said that she had to go to child services to get her granddaughter. Now the family is planning a weekend funeral.
Baltimore police detectives are asking anyone with information about the murder to call 410-396-2100 or leave an anonymous tip with Metro Crime Stoppers.
