DETROIT – The family of a Detroit nurse who was found over the weekend is speaking out about her death.
On Sunday, the body of Patrice Wilson was found in a trunk of an SUV outside of her Novi apartment complete.
The discovery of her body comes after reports that Wilson was kidnapped at a Detroit hospital after her nursing shift. Detroit police reported Saturday afternoon that they were looking for Jamere Miller, 36, in connection with the kidnapping of Wilson. Officials say that Miller, who was wearing a blonde wig at the time, forced Wilson into her car and kidnapped her via gunpoint.

Officials say that Wilson was found in the trunk of an SUV and suffered from a fatal gunshot wound.
Detroit police are looking for Miller, who allegedly kidnapped Wilson on Saturday morning when she was leaving Detroit Receiving Hospital around 7:40 a.m. Police issued a statement on Saturday stating that Miller was considered armed and dangerous as they were searching for Wilson.
Detroit police have not confirmed if anyone has been taken into custody relating to the kidnapping and murder of Wilson.
“I need the streets to talk. We need to find the person who killed Patrice. So she can have justice,” said Roslind Livingston, Wilson’s mother. “It’s Mother’s Day, and she is not here to be with her son. Her son cannot hold her and say ‘Happy Mother’s Day’ today. That bothers me.”

The 36-year-old was last seen with Wilson on Saturday morning when he allegedly kidnapped the 29-year-old.

Wilson’s mother said that the two used to date for a while. “She has been trying to get away from him,” explained Livingston. “She knew he was toxic to her.”
The 29-year-old’s relatives told Local 4 that there was once a video that went viral on TikTok showing who is believed to be Miller trying to break into Wilson’s home in 2021. The video was pushed out to residents in Wilson’s neighborhood via the Ring app. Click here to see the viral video.
“I want them [Detroiters] to know we need to find this guy. We don’t want this to happen to somebody else,” said Pamela Golden.” I don’t know what would have helped her live longer or what.”

Detroit police struck the individual twice after he appeared to pull a firearm out after ignoring commands to stop walking.
It happened in the area of Seven Mile and Forrer Street just after 11 p.m., according to the deputy chief.
After observing a group of young men walking down the street, they stopped to investigate a possible curfew violation, Jacqueline Pritchett said. All subjects except for one stopped walking.

“As he was walking down the street, officers saw him fidgeting with his pants,” she said. “They thought they saw a firearm.”
As the individual entered an alley, he appeared to pull out a firearm, leading the pursuing officer to fear for his life and fire two shots.
He struck the individual in the wrist and leg area before being taken to the hospital. His injuries were not life-threatening.

The individual does not have a criminal history.
An AK-47-style weapon was recovered from the scene and placed into evidence, Pritchett said.

On just the second defensive snap of the game, Detroit Lions cornerback Amik Robertson suffered a brutal-looking elbow injury. While Robertson was making a tackle, teammate Jack Campbell came crashing in and smashed into Robertson’s arm.
Robertson had to be escorted to the locker room with trainings stabilizing his arm. Initial reports from the team called it an elbow injury and he is questionable to return.
UPDATE: Robertson has been downgraded to out. He will not return.
If Robertson is out, it’s a devastating blow for the Lions defense, which is already missing several cornerbacks. Carlton Davis (IR), Emmanuel Moseley (non-football illness), Ennis Rakestraw (IR), and Khalil Dorsey (IR) are all currently out, with only Rakestraw expected to return. The only healthy cornerbacks on the active roster against the Commanders are Terrion Arnold, Kindle Vildor, and practice squad call-up Stantley Thomas-Oliver. Vildor stepped in for Robertson on the opening drive.
