Reports of “Woman Screaming”
LAPD officers had responded to reports of a “woman screaming.” They met Harwick’s roommate in the street who then told them that Harwick was being assaulted inside the home. That’s when they found her beneath the balcony, where she was “gravely injured” and unresponsive.

Harwick reportedly expressed fear about her ex-boyfriend, but the restraining order had expired. She saw him two weeks before her death. Harwick was also a former Playboy model and advocated for sex workers as well as subsidized mental health care for performers in the adult industry. She was engaged to Drew Carey in 2018, but they split up less than a year later.
