Royal Oak, MI: Mother Killed, Gunman On The Run

A mother was murdered Thursday evening while she was gathering with her family for Thanksgiving.

The incident happened inside a duplex home at Cloverdale Avenue and Westview Street in Royal Oak Township.

Authorities told Local 4 they believe the victim’s boyfriend shot her in the home she shared with her three children.

Investigators said the victim’s son was in the home during the shooting but was not injured.

People who knew the woman told Local 4 they aren't sure why something like this would happen. “She’s a sweetheart,” said Jacqueline Lucas. “I can’t believe it, you know, she’s gone like this.”

The Oakland County Sheriff’s department is leading the investigation. A motive is unclear.
