A beloved television hair and makeup artist was fatally gunned down by her own son at her Washington, DC area home on Sunday, according to reports.

Renee Travis Baldwin, 57, was reportedly shot by her 27-year-old son, Logan Chrisinger, in her Arlington, Virginia apartment shortly before 8:30 a.m. on Sunday morning, as reported by Fox DC.

She was rushed to a nearby hospital, where she later died, according to officials.

Chrisinger remained at the scene after the alleged murder and is currently being held without bond at Arlington County Detention Facility.

Baldwin was a seasoned television professional who most recently contributed her expertise at Newsmax, skillfully applying her trade for anchors like Greta Van Susteren.

“What a sadness… my Newsmax makeup artist of 3 ½ years, and years at @ABC @ESPN etc and a friend to all her colleagues… was murdered over the weekend,” Van Susteren expressed on X.

“[S]he did my make up Friday for the show and of course I never dreamed that would be the last time I would see her,” the Newsmax host concluded.

Newsmax White House producer Marisela Ramirez mourned the tragic and shocking loss, calling Baldwin “Heaven’s newest angel” in a heartfelt tribute to social media.

“Renee had a giving heart and a gypsy spirit but really she was a quiet warrior, supporting her family and carrying the weight of a household on her shoulders — without complaints,” Ramirez wrote on X.

She also fondly remembered Baldwin’s habit of playing with her client’s hair as they dished on difficult life situations — saying the professional treated people “with the gentleness of a mother.”

Chrisinger is charged with first–degree murder, aggravated malicious wounding, and using a firearm in the commission of a felony.

Newsmax did not respond to The Post’s request for comment.
