Woman dies after fourth black-market butt injection

A woman died after receiving what her family said was her fourth black-market bum injection.

Wykesha Reid, 34, made four visits to the Deep Ellum salon in Dallas, Texas, with the woman who raised her saying she ‘got hooked on them booty shots’.

But after the fourth visit, Ms Reid didn’t return. Police eventually found her body at the salon, which had been ‘cleaned out’. Her phone and wallet had been taken.

‘Everybody else got big booties,’ said Patricia Kelley, who raised Ms Reid.

‘So she wanted a big booty.’

The Dallas News reports that salon owners Denise Ross, 43, and Jimmy Clarke, 31 – who is also known as Alicia – are being hunted by police, though not because of Ms Reid’s death.

Police say they are wanted on charges of practising medicine without a licence in relation to a separate case in which a woman who received the surgery suffered ‘pain, soreness and psychological problems’.

The pair could still be charged with Ms Reid’s death, however, depending on the toxicology results.
