Tragedy struck an Indianapolis hair salon early Sunday morning when the owner was shot and killed in an apparent murder-suicide. According to reports, a gathering was taking place inside the New Look Hair Salon when the owner's ex-boyfriend opened fire, ultimately taking his own life as well.

Police responded to reports of gunshots at the salon located in a strip mall on E. Washington St. around 3:30 a.m. Inside, they found both the salon owner and the shooter deceased. Witnesses indicated that a group of people had been inside the closed salon prior to the incident. Investigators believe the ex-boyfriend's motive stemmed from jealousy over the owner's new relationship and the success of her recently opened business.

The salon owner, known affectionately as "TeeTee," was a beloved figure in the local Haitian community. Friends described her as kind and generous, often providing services to those in need, regardless of their ability to pay. The salon was known as a popular gathering place for the community.

This incident follows a weekend of widespread violence across the nation, including cities like Baltimore, Washington D.C., and Chicago.
