DETROIT, Mich. — Authorities have identified the woman shot and killed inside Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit Friday morning as Latricia “Zo-Zo” Green, also known as Latricia Brown. Police say she was gunned down by her ex-husband, 53-year-old Mario Green of Bloomfield Hills, in the basement of the medical facility where she worked.
The shooting happened shortly after 8 a.m., sending shockwaves through the hospital’s staff and patients. According to investigators, Mario Green entered the hospital, confronted his ex-wife in a restricted basement area, and after a heated verbal exchange, pulled out a firearm and opened fire. Latricia Green, described by colleagues as a dedicated and kindhearted hospital employee, was fatally wounded on the spot.
Security cameras captured the aftermath as Mario Green fled the hospital through the front entrance. Despite the facility’s large security presence, he managed to escape before police arrived. A manhunt is now underway, with multiple agencies assisting Detroit police in the urgent search for the suspect. Authorities have warned the public to consider Green armed and dangerous.
The victim, widely known by her nickname “Zo-Zo,” was cherished not only by her coworkers but also by her community. Friends and family say she was a loving woman who worked hard to provide for her family and cared deeply about her patients at Henry Ford Hospital. Many took to social media to mourn her sudden and violent death, calling for justice.
Henry Ford Health released a statement acknowledging the tragedy: “We are deeply saddened by the loss of one of our own in such a senseless act of violence. Our thoughts and prayers are with her family, friends, and colleagues. We are fully cooperating with law enforcement as the investigation continues.”
The incident has also sparked renewed discussions about workplace safety and domestic violence, particularly when threats spill over into public spaces such as hospitals, which are supposed to be places of healing and safety.
As of Friday afternoon, police continue to search for Mario Green, urging anyone with information on his whereabouts to contact authorities immediately. Meanwhile, the Detroit community mourns the devastating loss of Latricia “Zo-Zo” Green — a woman remembered for her strength, kindness, and dedication to her work.
