Also developing funeral arrangements are now set
for the woman who was shot and killed
inside this beauty salon in East Mount Airy on Monday.
Police say her two co-workers survived after they were assaulted.
Our Jennifer Lee is live outside the salon tonight.
And Jen, you've had a chance to speak with neighboring businesses.
Everyone, understandably,
still on edge here because the suspect is still out there.
We'll be right back.
Yes, and police have said Jamal Pistoria,
who is that wanted man, is armed and considered
dangerous. And I want to show you the salon.
It remains closed after the deadly shooting and
assault on Monday. And you can see that there
is a small memorial that continues to grow outside.
We've heard customers have come by,
loved ones have come by of the woman who was killed. And
as you said, Sheba, many along
this business corridor along Stanton Avenue, they are shaken
We'll take it after Monday.
She was one of my customers. She was sweet and nice all the time.

The salon's Instagram posting the chilling moment
when alleged suspect Jamal Pistoria walked in,
pointing a gun at one of the assault victims at the register.
A video that's now circulating across social media pages. The owner
of a neighboring business says his wife and employees are left shaken.
It's just too much like this neighborhood still
is one of the safer like area for the
community and everybody's nice and everybody knows everybody.
So that's not, you know,
it's just not acceptable like it's just crazy.
Prosecutors say Pistoria forced his way to a back room,
locking the door with the three victims.
Investigators say he fired his gun several times,
shooting and killing Hernandez Camillo.
He's accused of pistol-whipping the two other women
and forcing one to perform a sexual act.
Law enforcement says the surviving women fought back for their lives.
Once it appeared, Pistoria's gun ran out of ammunition.
Surveillance video outside shows a woman running out
of the salon on the 6300 block of Stenton Avenue.
And Pistoria leaving moments later.
Police say Pistoria was recorded
on camera at a nearby convenience store
described as being about 5'6 and weighing 150 pounds.
Police are hoping the public can help them make an arrest.
A $20,000 reward is being offered for information leading
to Pistoria's arrest and conviction.
And we did see the salon also posted on their social media page
that Hernandez Camilo's funeral has been set for November 15th.
We did learn from the DA's office
that she leaves behind a husband and two children.
Sheba?
All right.
Sounds like a lot of activity where you are tonight.
Jen?
Everything all right out there?
We're actually right by a bus stop and it just let out,
so it's just a large crowd.
Yeah, it's a busy corridor.
All right. Thank you so much, Jennifer.
