A man shot and killed his estranged wife early Monday at the Jersey Shore medical center where she worked as a nurse, authorities said.
Brandon Alexander, 35, arrived before dawn at the Excelcare Rehabilitation Facility in Egg Harbor Township and lay in wait in the parking lot until his wife, Victoria, arrived for her shift, according to the Atlantic County Prosecutor’s Office.
He then used his car to block her path, climbed into her vehicle, and placed two suicide notes on the dashboard, prosecutors said.
A food truck driver in the parking lot asked Alexander to move his car, authorities said, and Victoria Alexander seized the moment to flee.
Alexander chased her into the facility and shot her multiple times, prosecutors said, before turning the gun on himself.
Victoria Alexander, 38, was pronounced dead at the scene. Her husband was taken to AtlantiCare Regional Medical Center’s City Division, where he died early Tuesday, authorities said.
