Hill was a well-known and well-liked barber, who usually opened up Raquel's Hair Salon in the morning.

"I just keep looking at his chair like he's here. And he's not. It's the most saddest thing ever. This was our family. This is the salon. This is the shop. This is our family here. For someone to take him from us, it's the most horrible thing in the world," a co-worker of Hill, who asked that FOX6 News not share her name said.
