Michelle Marie Fournier, 48, of Huntington Beach, California, was killed on October 12, 2011, in the mass shooting at Salon Meritage in Seal Beach. Fournier, a licensed cosmetologist, was among eight people who died after a gunman opened fire in the salon around 1:21 PM; three others were taken to hospital and two of those later died. The attack lasted about two minutes and left one customer as the sole survivor.

Authorities identified the shooter as Scott Evans Dekraai, described in reports as Fournier’s ex-husband. The two had been involved in a custody dispute over their 8-year-old son, and investigators said a heated phone argument occurred that morning. Dekraai was arrested without incident roughly half a mile from the salon.

A candlelight vigil for the victims was held the day after the shooting and a fund was set up to help the families. If anyone knew Michelle Fournier, her routines, or was in Seal Beach that afternoon, please come forward with what was seen or heard.
