DETROIT – Family and friends gathered at a vigil Thursday to honor nurse Patrice Wilson who was kidnapped and killed over the weekend.
Wilson, 29, was abducted as she left her nursing shift at Detroit Receiving Hospital Saturday morning.
Her body was found Sunday (May 14) in the trunk of a car at a Novi apartment complex.
Wilson’s family has said the suspect, Jamere Miller, was her ex-boyfriend.
The vigil was hosted at a church in Redford by a Metro Detroit chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha, the sorority Wilson joined while attending Oakland University.
“She was a very beautiful soul,” Wilson’s friend, Sasha Ridgeway, said.
Purple ribbons were passed out at the vigil to bring awareness to domestic violence.
“We’re trying to make sure that we represent her, her legacy, and shine a lot of light to domestic violence because it is tragic that this has happened to one of our beloved,” said friend Alayna Bell.
