Officer Jessica Nagle-Wilson was shot and killed when she responded to an animal complaint at a house on Jarvis Street at 8:48 pm.

As she exited her patrol car, a man standing on the porch suddenly opened fire on her with a shotgun filled with No. 6 birdshot, striking her in the face, neck, and stomach. She was able to return fire and wounded the suspect. Although she was wearing her vest, she suffered fatal wounds and succumbed to her wounds at the hospital.

The suspect was taken into custody at the hospital. The man was convicted of Officer Nagle-Wilson's murder in July 2003 and sentenced to life in prison.

Officer Nagle-Wilson had served with the Hazel Park Police Department for just under two years. She is survived by her husband, who is also a police officer, parents, brother, and sister.

It was an honor to read your story in Petoskey during the Thin Blue Shoreline Ride this week. Your parents beside me with Scott and Tonya. There will forever be a connection between our families. Two senseless deaths so close together. I never had the chance to meet you, but I feel as if I did through your parents. RIP Jessica and continue to be your family’s blue angel.
