Stylist Tonya Hamilton who took the day off from the salon says she was shocked when she heard the news. "Never did think it would be Jimese, you know she does taxes in there and I thought maybe a tax customer had got out of line or out of hand about their money just never thought it would have been her," said Hamilton. Police say there are no records of prior incidents involving the couple. This is bossier city's second homicide case of the year.
