Makeup artist to the stars Travis Renee Baldwin tragically shot dead by own son in DC area home
A beloved hair and makeup artist to the stars was tragically shot dead by her own son in their Washington DC-area home. Renee Baldwin, 57, was tragically killed inside her Arlington, Virginia apartment before 8.30am on Sunday, according to Fox DC. Baldwin's 27-year-old son Logan Chrisinger has been charged with first degree murder, aggravated malicious wounding, and using a firearm in the commission of a felony. The industry stalwart has been remembered by her devastated colleagues at Newsmax as a 'gypsy spirit.' Former Fox News anchor Greta Van Susteren was among those to pay tribute to Baldwin on Tuesday. 'What a sadness… my Newsmax make up artist of 3.5 years, and years at @ABC @ESPN etc and a friend to all her colleagues… was murdered over the weekend,' Van Susteren wrote on X. '[S]he did my make up Friday for the show and of course I never dreamed that would be the last time I would see her.' Daily Caller editor Amber Duke also weighed in, writing: 'Renee did my makeup at Newsmax for the past 1.5 years and sometimes did fill-in shifts at Rising. The news of her murder was such a shock. 'She was a kind, generous, funny woman who always brightened the day of anyone who sat in her chair. 'Fridays at Newsmax were something I looked forward to because I knew we'd get to gossip, talk about our upcoming travel plans, our pets, and any good wines we were drinking. She will be dearly missed.' Newsmax White House producer Marisela Ramirez said Baldwin would play with clients hair as she encouraged them to open up, reminiscing on her ability to treat people 'with the gentleness of a mother.' 'Renee had a giving heart and a gypsy spirit but really she was a quiet warrior, supporting her family and carrying the weight of a household on her shoulders — without complaints.' Baldwin's colleagues have paid tribute to her in moving posts since learning of her tragic death Amber Duke also weighed in, sharing a picture of her and Baldwin together (pictured) and writing: 'Renee did my makeup at Newsmax for the past 1.5 years and sometimes did fill-in shifts at Rising. The news of her murder was such a shock' Virginia Allen, the co-host of podcast Problematic Women, wrote: 'Absolutely heartbreaking. Renee was honest, loving, and so talented. Newsmax will never feel the same without her.' Another tribute noted she would often 'talk about her son.' Chrisinger remained at the scene of the crime after allegedly shooting his mom dead, and is being held without bond at Arlington County Detention Facility.

Footy legend predicts Jamarra Ugle-Hagan is on the verge of tragedy if he doesn't change his ways after 'almost being shot' in 2.30am nightclub incident
Footy legend James Hird has warned that something 'even worse' will happen to Jamarra Ugle-Hagan if he doesn't change his ways after the youngster was 'almost shot' while at a notorious Melbourne nightclub. On Tuesday, the troubled footy star revealed just how close he came to suffering a serious injury when a firearm was discharged at around 2.30am on Sunday outside Prahran's Love Machine nightclub. 'It was that close to me, I'm lucky I wasn't hit,' the 2020 No.1 draft pick told News Corp. 'I wasn't involved with anything, as the police know. 'There were 20 people around me and probably another 100 at the venue, but my name is being mentioned like I have some kind of part in it. 'I'm linked just by being there. It's trial by media. 'It is out of my control. 'It is traumatising and no one should be near or see any of that.' Ugle-Hagan has endured a turbulent 12 months, stepping away from football on indefinite personal leave as he struggled with severe mental health challenges he admitted left him at 'rock bottom'. Hird believes the youngster 'needs to be saved' before something terrible happens. 'If he's at Love Machine next week or the week after, something even worse will happen,' Hird said on Nine's Footy Classified. 'He's got to stop that behaviour.' Hird's fellow panellist Eddie McGuire agreed that things were not improving for Ugle-Hagan. 'He is getting closer and closer and closer to a huge disaster,' he said. 'This is what's reported; we all know what's not getting reported.' Crows star Rory Sloane added that 'clubs will always condemn the action but always support the player', but Hird wasn't so sure. 'I don't think they will support Jamarra for much longer,' Hird said. 'I think they've almost stopped supporting him. 'The kid has to be saved.' Earlier in August, the Bulldogs star, who has not played for his club since March 2025 due to mental health, revealed to News Corp that he was 'getting much better' as he looked to make his return to football. 'I'm journaling every morning as soon as I wake up. 'I feel like that is more in my interest now to get me through this tough time. 'I love training myself and putting myself through something I can get better at. It is an easier way for me.' He added that he has been spending time with his supportive friends to help keep his mental health on track. Ugle-Hagan, who was the Doggies' leading goalkicker during the 2024 campaign, has made 67 AFL appearances for the Melbourne-based club, having debuted back in 2021.
