Nadia Ezaldein Tragic Death

By Channah T.

Nadia Ezaldein, 22, was a seasonal worker at Nordstrom, a downtown Chicago store. She was shot dead by Marcus Dee, 31, before he turned gun on himself.

Protection order application filed on April 8 said Dee cracked her ribs, fractured her jaw, stabbed her with a switchblade and shoved a gun in her mouth.

This is the 22-year-old Nordstrom worker, Nadia Ezaldein, who was shot dead by her ex-boyfriend on Black Friday.

Dee filed for protection against Ezaldein's sister, both applications denied.

Her family flew from Florida on the day of the shooting for her 22nd birthday.

She moved to the city in 2009 to study law at the University of Chicago.

Nadia Ezaldein was gunned down on the store floor by Marcus Dee, 31, on the manic shopping day, which was also her birthday.

The killing came seven months after she applied from a protection order after he allegedly broke her ribs, fractured her jaw and tore her clothing in a vicious attack

Nadia could have been saved.but the judge didn't believe her story that her ex-boyfriend was going after her. I hate the fact that this so called judge who's supposed to give justice denied her application for protection after seeing this evidence.
