Police are still trying to figure out what led
a gunman to open fire inside a gym this morning.
It started around 8 a.m. and continued into the areas outside
the gym in D.C.'s Logan Circle neighborhood.
One person was killed and four others injured.
The suspect later barricaded himself inside a nearby apartment
and died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
Metropolitan police say the suspect, 55-year-old Matt Lambert,
had been locked in a longtime dispute over mold
and moisture problems in his upstairs apartment.
All new at 6, a second nail salon has come forward,
claiming the same customer who ripped off a Midtown nail salon
walked out without paying at the Riverdale location as well.
Fox Eyes Angelique Proctor joins us live from L.A. Nails on Highway 85
to tell us exactly what happened, Angelique.
Well, good evening to you both.
The owner here at LA Nails in Riverdale immediately said deja vu
when she saw our story earlier this week on a woman
who ran up almost a $400 tab and walked
right out of a Midtown nail salon.
Now she believes that same woman did that here.
I watched like $400 tab and I was like, I see the lady and I was like,
yo, that's the same lady that ran off on our tab in October
and walked out without paying.
Nail tech Nihon couldn't believe her eyes
when she saw our story on a woman who ran up a nearly $400 tab
at Glow Lash and Nail Salon in Midtown Atlanta.
She showed us pictures and believes the same woman ran up a $200 tab
and skipped out on her mom's salon in Riverdale.
But not before giving them a sob story.
I know it's hard times out here and stuff like that.
And she was like, yeah,
she's doing her best to make ends meet and stuff.
And I asked her, where does she stay?
And she said, she's currently staying in her car.
The nail tech staff had a similar story to the glow lash
and nail staff when it came time to pay.
One of my co-workers did her nail designs
and then did her toes and everything and the tap
ends up being $200. And when it came to paying,
she was like, she came and tried to tap her phone
and then her card got declined.
So as soon as it got declined, she was like, hey.
I'm going to be right back. I left my wallet in the car.
Let me run out there and get it.
She ran out there and never came back.
The owner's daughter regrets she did not call Riverdale Police.
I couldn't call the police because I just felt like there was no name.
I didn't have her name. I didn't know who she was.
I just know that she told me that she's from Oklahoma.
Atlanta police are looking for the theft of services suspect.
The owner's daughter hopes someone will recognize her.
The salon is already slow, and for her to do that,
that's just taking food and rent and everything else from them
because the $200 tab, they don't get paid that day.
Now, the staff here at L.A. Nail says as soon
as they identify this suspect, they, too, will call police.
In Riverdale, Angelique Proctor, Fox 5 News.
Wow. Not only did she leave without paying, allegedly,
Angelique, but she asked for the designs on the nails, too.
So it sounds like she's adding things on that cost extra on top
of just the regular manicure or pedicure that she asked for,
according to the salon.
She asked for the same.
She asked for the same extras in Midtown as well.
Wow, that's pretty brazen, if true.
All right, Angelique, thanks.
