Charges filed after Fayetteville woman dies from unlicensed silicone injections
A 42-year-old Salisbury woman is charged with second-degree murder after she allegedly gave unlicensed silicone injections to a Fayetteville woman, according to authorities.
Posted — UpdatedAccording to police, Symone Jones, 19, traveled from Fayetteville to 353 Union Heights Blvd. in Salisbury, where she received non-medical-grade silicone injections from Kavonceya Iman Cornelius, 42.
Jones went back to Fayetteville after receiving the injections and died Jan. 12 as a result of the procedure, authorities said.
According to her Facebook post, Jones experienced shortness of breath after the injection.
Authorities said they were prompted to look closely into Jones' death after a person from out-of-state came forward and said they became seriously ill after receiving silicone injections from Cornelius.
Cornelius was being held in the Rowan County Detention Center without bond. Her first appearance was set for Wednesday.
