A social media influencer was found dead in her home after posting an ominous message begging for help — with her husband killing himself as police closed in on him hours later.
Zaria Khadejah Carr, 27, was found dead in her home in Twin City, Georgia — about 80 miles northwest of Savannah — around 9:30 p.m. Saturday after police responded to a domestic disturbance, according to the Georgia Bureau of Investigation.
Just over three hours prior, Carr had posted a desperate plea for help to the 35,000 followers of her influencer Facebook page, where she went by Duchess Dior, People magazine reported.
“I really don’t know what to do,” reads Duchess Dior’s final post, shared around 6 p.m. Saturday. “.. but i need help before i lose my life or freedom ! My kids need me !”
Her husband, Shamarcus Jameal Carr — a dog breeder known as “the Frenchman” online — was nowhere to be found when cops arrived and Zaria’s 2021 Dodge Challenger was missing.
The vehicle was located some 80 miles to the south in Wayne County just before 11 p.m.
But when Wayne County sheriff’s deputies tried to stop it, Carr shot himself before they could take him into custody.
He was rushed to a local hospital, where he died.
Sources told People magazine that Shamarcus is the man behind “the Frenchman” Facebook account, which boasted 44,000 followers and shared his life as a French bulldog breeder.
Shamarcus’ page features photos of maternity shoots with a woman the source identifies as Duchess Dior, whose first name was Zaria, sources confirmed to People.
It remains unclear how Zaria died.
Police said the investigations into both their deaths remain “active and ongoing.”
