Dallas Woman Sentenced for Fatal Butt Injection That Killed St. Louis Woman
A Dallas woman who acted as an off-the-books plastic surgeon has been sentenced to five years in prison for performing a fatal butt augmentation on a Florissant woman.
In 2015, 49-year-old Nitica Lee injected Daysha Phillips, 22, with silicon during an illicit procedure in a room at a Drury Inn near St. Louis Lambert International Airport. Phillips suffered a silicone pulmonary embolism, dying four days later on July 30, 2015.
Charges of first-degree involuntary manslaughter were issued in St. Louis County against Lee in November 2015, but authorities say she was on the run for years, sometimes in Mexico. Dallas police finally took her into custody last July, almost exactly five years after the deadly injection.
