The friends of a University of North Texas student found shot to death in her car are working to make sure her killer is brought to justice.
Corinth Police, the Texas Rangers and the Denton County Sheriff's Office are all working on the investigation, but there was no additional information released Tuesday.
Melanie Antony and Amy Darzi knew 21-year-old Amanda Clairmont from their days at Frisco's Liberty High School. They say even back then, she loved makeup, and had recently been pursuing a career as a makeup artist through her job at the Bobbi Brown counter at Nordstrom Stonebriar. She worked there while finishing her degree at the University of North Texas.
"I know she wanted to really pursue that. She was really talented. She was the only person I let do my makeup,” Antony said.
Antony and Darzi say Clairmont had been out with other friends in Denton Saturday night, but they don't know much more.
It was 6 a.m. Sunday when police found her car crashed into a fence in a vacant lot along the southbound service road of I-35E in Corinth. Inside, police found Clairmont shot to death.
"I don't see why anyone would do this,” Antony said. She was great. She was nice to everybody."
Investigators will not say where she was shot, if anything was stolen from her or whether they have any leads, but they will say there is not "cause for alarm" to the community.
"I think it'll give all of us some sort of comfort if they find out who did it. I just really want justice for her because she didn't deserve this,” Darzi said.
Clairmont's last post to her makeup artist Instagram Saturday was a picture of makeup she had done for another high school friend, Carly Cassidy. Cassidy painted a picture of Clairmont, captioned, "I hope more than anything they soon find justice for your sweet soul."
Clairmont's brother says her family is waiting to comment until the person who killed her is caught. Their mother died of cancer when Clairmont was nine, so they are finding comfort knowing she is now with her mother.
UNT also released a statement giving heartfelt sympathies to her family.
