Warning: This article discusses suicide, which may be distressing for some readers.
A social media influencer has been discovered deceased shortly after allegedly posting a troubling message online.
Zaria Khadejah Carr, aged 27, was declared dead following a domestic disturbance incident in Twin City, Georgia, on the evening of June 14, around 9:30 pm.
The Twin City Police Department, along with the Emanuel County Sheriff’s Office and Emanuel County EMS, responded to the scene where they initially found Carr unconscious. Despite efforts, she later passed away.
The Georgia Bureau of Investigation (GBI) reported that her husband was found dead from an apparent suicide after being intercepted by police.
According to the investigative unit, Carr’s husband, Shamarcus Jameal, 36, was not present at their home during the initial call, nor was his vehicle.
After an alert was issued for the vehicle, officers located Jameal at 11 pm. During a traffic stop attempt, he allegedly took his own life.
The GBI’s statement indicated that he succumbed to his injuries at a hospital.
People magazine reported through a source familiar with the couple that Shamarcus was a Facebook influencer known as ‘The Frenchman’.
He reportedly had 44,000 followers who followed his experiences of breeding French Bulldog puppies.
Carr, on the other hand, was known as ‘Dutchess Dior’ with a following of over 30,000, and she appeared on Shamarcus’ page during a maternity photoshoot.
Her final online post reportedly appeared on the day of her death.
The cryptic message suggested she was facing serious difficulties, as she reportedly wrote: “I really don’t know what to do .. but i need help before i lose my life or freedom ! My kids need me !”
The GBI’s Medical Examiner’s Office will be performing an autopsy on Carr.
