In a shocking and tragic turn of events, Destiny Harrison, a vibrant 21-year-old mother and entrepreneur, was brutally murdered in her own salon in Baltimore just days before Christmas 2019. Known for her fierce determination and entrepreneurial spirit, Destiny had built her dream from the ground up, only to have it ripped away in an act of senseless violence.
On December 21, 2019, Destiny was shot in the head at Madame D Beauty Bar, a place she had transformed into a hub for beauty and empowerment. This horrific incident unfolded mere days after she reported a violent robbery at her salon, where two individuals assaulted her and stole nearly $3,000 worth of merchandise. Despite her fear for her life, amplified by the assault, Destiny pressed charges and obtained a protective order, believing she could safeguard herself and her business.
However, the police failed to provide adequate protection, leaving her vulnerable. Witnesses recall the chaos of that fateful evening when a gunman entered the salon and opened fire, leaving Destiny’s family and community shattered. The shooter fled the scene, and despite numerous witnesses, the investigation has stagnated, and the case remains unsolved more than five years later.
Destiny’s mother, Raquel, has been relentless in her pursuit of justice, urging anyone with information to come forward. The police have increased the reward for tips leading to an arrest to $8,000, but the community continues to live with the uncertainty of who was behind this heinous act.
As Destiny’s legacy lives on through her daughter Dream and the scholarship fund established in her honor, the haunting question remains: who 𝓀𝒾𝓁𝓁ed Destiny Harrison, and why has justice eluded her family? The Baltimore Police Department is urging anyone with information to contact Crimestoppers as the search for answers continues. Destiny deserved better, and her community is determined to see justice served.
