ST. LOUIS -- Detectives and family members said Sunday they don't know why someone fatally shot a 41-year-old woman Saturday in the beauty parlor where she worked.
Lanette Harvey was shot around 11 a.m. as she was washing a customer's hair.
Police said that a man outside the glass front door hollered for Harvey and then fired three shots through the door.
Police said the north St. Louis beauty shop routinely keeps its front door locked as a security precaution.
The customer, who had her head back in the sink, told police she didn't see who fired the shots. Detectives could find no other witnesses.
Harvey's mother Catherine Clark said she can't think of any reason someone would shoot her daughter.
