In the ongoing pursuit of beauty, butt injections are still a popular way many try to get the body of their dreams. But the death of a Texas nursing home employee has been ruled a homicide by the Dallas County Medical Examiner’s Officer.
The Dallas Morning News reports that 34 year old Wykesha Reid, who received silicone injections, died of pulmonary embolization of silicone after undergoing the cosmetic procedure.
Reid’s body was found on February 19 but the autopsy wasn’t completed until Friday.

The finding paves the way for prosecutors to pursue homicide charges against Denise “Wee Wee” Ross, 43, and Alicia Clarke, 31, both of whom are suspected of performing Reid’s surgery. Both Clarke and Ross already have been charged with practicing medicine without a license in a separate case where a woman claimed she was harmed by shots in her rear end, according to NBC Dallas.
Reid is one of a growing number of women suffering death or permanent disfigurement as the result of butt injections.
“Everybody else got big booties,” said 70 year old Patricia Kelley immediately after…
…Reid’s death, who had raised Reid since she was a child, said. “So she wanted a big booty.”
“Your butt’s getting too big,” Kelley says she told her. “But she got hooked on them booty shots.”
Two former clients said Ross and Clarke ran a black market butt injection operation for years. They used “hydrogel injections sealed with Super Glue, which they sold in $300 or $500 dosages in 15- to 45-minute sessions.”
Reid allegedly died after the fourth injection.
“I want to see them on trial for murder,” Reid’s 20-year-old daughter, Keaira Reid, said of the person who accompanied her mother on the night she died. “I’m very mad because anybody could have called 911.”
Police have said they believe that Reid had a medical emergency and was left overnight in the salon by Clarke and Ross, according to TV station WFAA. When questioned, Clarke allegedly said Reid arrived at the beauty parlor feeling unwell. Police said Clarke told them she let Reid lie down, locked her in the facility overnight and discovered her dead when she returned in the morning, WFAA reported. When police found Reid’s body, the building had been cleaned out and her purse and cell phone were also missing.
Both Ross and Clarke are currently free on bond.
