In the moments leading up to the stabbing, McDonald's surveillance footage catches a figure walk in the back of the restaurant with their face covered. The sweatshirt they're wearing bears a striking resemblance to the one Muhammad was wearing when police arrived on scene to take her into custody. In addition, another post on her Instagram shows a hood zipped up to reveal a hockey mask that looks nearly identical to the one in the surveillance footage. According to court records, Muhammad has since been charged with felony first-degree premeditated murder and felony carrying a dangerous weapon with unlawful intent. She's currently being held at the Macomb County Jail on a $25 million bond. While her trial was originally scheduled on September 15th, 2026, [music] it has been rescheduled to November 10th, 2026. She is presumed innocent unless proven [music] guilty in a court of law. >> The victim, Jennifer Harris, leaves behind six children in the wake of her passing. A week after the incident, hundreds of members of the community, including Jennifer's family, gathered at the McDonald's to release balloons in honor and remembrance of Jennifer. The McDonald's franchise owner also appeared and announced the Jennifer Harris Legacy Fund, which will support her children as they grow older.
