A white man is alleged to have applied dark liquid foundation on his face and a fake beard when he murdered his former girlfriend.
Andrew Beard from Texas is accused of killing Alyssa Burkett, the mother of his 1-year-old daughter, according to news reports.
Beard, 33, surrendered himself to Carrollton police. He has been charged with the murder of Burkett.
According to authorities, in an attempt to avoid detection, Beard donned a fake beard and applied dark makeup to his entire face.
The Carrollton Leader reports that police allege Beard, a white man, tried to shield his identity from security cameras and witnesses.
It worked, as at least two witnesses did, in fact, report that it was a ‘black’ man who shot Burkett in the head before stabbing her repeatedly.
The affidavit alleges dark liquid foundation and a fake beard with cosmetic glue were found in a car belonging to Beard.
Burkett, 24, was attacked on October 2nd outside the Greentree Apartments, where she was a manager.
Police arrived to find her outside, on the complex’s front steps, with several of her co-workers attempting to render first aid.
The couple had been involved in a bitter custody battle over their daughter.
Burkett was awarded custody of their child on September 30.
Police discovered tracking devices on Burkett’s car as well as her current boyfriend’s car, according to reports.
Prior to her death, Burkett set up a GoFundMe page to help with her legal costs during the custody battle.
The money raised is now being used for her funeral.
