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.
