Truc Thi Ly Nguyen, 43, was shot in the temple Monday as she was crouched at a foot basin. She died shortly after being taken to a local hospital.
Her horrified husband, Quang Tran, and his brother, who owns the salon, tackled gunman Tremaine Washington to the ground, wrestled the gun away and held him until police arrived.
Washington, 26, who has multiple drug-related arrests, begged Tran to let him go before the cops got there – saying he never meant to shoot Ms Nguyen – that he was aiming at her pedicure client sitting in the salon.
‘She sat here,’ Mr Tran told the Baltimore Sun, reliving the horror in the nail salon. ‘She was innocent.’
Mr Tran told WJZ-TV that he was in the salon working on an electrical outlet when the gunman burst in. He had brought the couple’s young son with him so that he could watch his parents work.
Mr Tran said Washington started arguing with the man in the pedicure chair. He then pulled out a handgun and started shooting.
