Men and women need to be safe when it comes break ups.
It is said this happens far too often.
This man didn’t need to lose his life.
A Chicago Ph.D. student studying criminology fatally shot her ex-boyfriend at his Southwest DC home, authorities said.
Nijinsky Dix, 37, a student at the University of Illinois Chicago, has been charged with second-degree murder in the slaying Saturday of 44-year-old Terry Hickman, whom she dated for three months, the South Bend Tribune reported.
They found Dix kneeling beside the bullet-riddled body of Hickman, who was pronounced dead at the scene, the outlet reported.
Police said Dix was holding in her left hand a gun, which officers ordered her to put down.
Dix was taken to the hospital, where she complained of memory loss and back pain but showed no signs of being assaulted, NBC Chicago reported.
Hickman’s family told authorities that he and Dix had dated for three months before the pair broke up in May, the outlet reported. They claimed that Dix had started “stalking” her former flame after the split.
It’s unclear how or why Dix ended up in Washington, DC.
Thoughts and prayers go out to the Hickman family.
Hopefully, Dix will spend the rest of her life behind bars.
