Inkster Man Pleads Guilty In Killing Of Detroit Nurse

DETROIT — An Inkster man pleaded guilty to killing a nurse outside the Detroit Medical Center in May, according to the Wayne County Prosecutor's Office.

Police said Patrice Wilson, 29, from Redford, was found shot to death inside her SUV on May 13 at a Novi apartment complex after she was kidnapped earlier that day at 7:53 a.m. when leaving her job at the Detroit Receiving Hospital on the 4200 block of St. Antoine St. in Detroit.

Jamere Mykel Miller, 36, was originally charged with one count of first-degree murder, one count of felony murder, one count of carjacking, one count of armed robbery, one count of felon in possession of a firearm and five counts of felony firearm in connection to the kidnapping and killing.

In exchange for his plea, which comes with a sentence agreement of 35-60 years in prison, prosecutors asked the judge to dismiss a first-degree murder charge, a carjacking charge, an armed robbery charge, a charge of being a felon in possession of a firearm and five counts of using a firearm during a felony, officials said.

He is scheduled to be sentenced on Nov. 1.

Police said Miller was disguised in a wig, hat and glasses, while waiting outside the hospital for Wilson to get into her black 2020 Lincoln Nautilus after work. As Wilson was getting into her SUV, Miller approached her and forced his way into the SUV, pushing Wilson inside, prosecutors said.

Miller then fired a handgun at Wilson multiple times through the back passenger side of the vehicle, killing her, prosecutors said. Officials said Miller then got into the driver's seat and sped away from the hospital.

Miller later turned himself in on May 14.
