DETROIT (WXYZ) — The mother of Patrice Wilson, a Detroit nurse who was kidnapped while leaving work and was found dead Sunday morning, spoke to us Saturday night.
The incident happened outside Detroit Medical Center as the woman was leaving work.
The suspect, Jamere Miller, allegedly forced the victim, Patrice Wilson, into her own car and then took off.
Police on Monday arrested the suspect, her mother tells 7 Action News.
"I got a call from someone who said they were talking to Patrice on the phone and they heard screaming," said Roslind Livingston, Wilson's mother.
Wilson's phone went dead after that according to her mom.
Police say Wilson was headed to her car after an overnight shift at Detroit Medical Center when she was ambushed by Miller.
"He approached our victim just as she was getting into the driver's side of her vehicle. He then got inside the vehicle and forced her over and fled with her inside," said Captain Donna McCord, with the Detroit Police Department.
Roslind Livingston says Miller was her daughter's ex-boyfriend and a bit obsessive.
"The more she pulled away...he was sending flowers. If you go by her house, there are things at her door that she kind of like left there to let him know I am not accepting things from you," said Livingston.
Livingston says she can't stomach the thought of losing another child.
"Back in 2003, I lost a son. He was riding his bike and he was 15 years old. A car hit him and I don't know to this day who did that. So yea I am going through a lot right now," said Livingston.
In her mom's eyes, Wilson was perfect. She described her as quiet, studious, and a good mother.
