Evette Ingram combined her passion for wigs and helping women and opened Evette's Beauty Supply. After being targeted by robbers and burglars several times, she is closing up shop.
Evette's Beauty Supply in Tarzana, Calif., was targeted again Wednesday.
"To drive up and see your windows shatter again, it's heart-wrenching," she said. "Two more days, I would have had everything out of this store. They couldn't give me two more days." Over the years, she estimated, she's lost more than $100,000 in merchandise from her stores. On two separate occasions, she also had people pull out a knife on her while robbing a store. In February, Ingram found out she was diabetic after being rushed to urgent care.
"I guess I had been ignoring … all the symptoms that I had because I was so focused on these stores," she said.
