CHICAGO — A Nordstrom worker who was shot by her ex-boyfriend inside a Chicago store on Friday evening died on Saturday, police sources said.
The Cook County Medical Examiner’s office identified the victim as Nadia Ezaldein, 22, of Hialeah, Florida. The man, identified as Marcus Dee, 31, shot himself and was declared dead at the scene, police said. His place of residence was not known.
The shooting sent Black Friday customers scattering from the store. It took place on the second floor of the high-end retailer located in the popular “Magnificent Mile” shopping district.
The family of the woman said Dee had physically abused her throughout their relationship, and had harassed both the woman and her family since their breakup last December, the Chicago Tribune reported.
