A nurse has been found dead in the boot of her own car, with police launching a manhunt for her ex-boyfriend.
Police say Patrice Wilson a mother of a young child, was forced into a vehicle at gunpoint.
Several gunshots were heard before the suspect allegedly fled the scene.
The kidnapping occurred Saturday, at around 7:40am, in the parking lot outside DMC Detroit Receiving Hospital, in the US.
The suspect is now said to be on the run.
Wilson’s family said that Miller, 36, was a previous boyfriend.
In a statement, the DMC passed along their condolences to friends, family, and colleagues at the hospital about their coworker’s death.
“Patrice was not just a co-worker but a loving friend to many at the DMC. Grief counselling is available for all staff at our Adult Central Campus hospitals.”
According to Detroit police, Wilson had been walking to her car after her shift at the DMC had ended when Miller approached her and forced himself into her vehicle with her.
“He approached our victim as she was getting into the driver’s side of her vehicle he then got in the vehicle, forced her over, and fled with her inside,” police said at the time.
Wilson’s mother, Roslind, said she spoke to her daughter earlier that day and said nothing seemed out of the ordinary.
