On the morning of August 17, 2025, 57-year-old makeup artist Travis Renee Baldwin was fatally shot inside an apartment in the Ballston–Virginia Square area of Arlington, Virginia. Officers who responded to a 911 call found Baldwin with a gunshot wound; they performed life-saving measures and she was taken to a hospital but died of her injuries.

Her 27-year-old son, Logan Chrisinger, was at the scene and was arrested by Arlington County Police. Authorities described the incident as domestic-related and say Chrisinger fatally shot his mother. Family members said Baldwin had gone to her son’s apartment in the middle of the night to try to help him through a crisis; they reported he had been threatening suicide and had a history of mental health challenges.

Chrisinger was charged with multiple felonies, including first-degree murder, aggravated malicious wounding, and use of a firearm in the commission of a felony, and is being held without bond. The investigation into the circumstances of the shooting remains ongoing.

Did anyone know Baldwin’s work or her family and have details that could shed light on what happened that night?
