ROCHESTER HILLS, MI — A man was apprehended on Saturday after he indiscriminately discharged rounds at a vehicle driven by a nurse from Rochester Hills near the border with Troy, according to the Oakland County Sheriff’s Office.

Cortez Ulysses Taylor, aged 29, has been taken into custody in relation to the incident and is currently being held at the Oakland County Jail while investigators pursue charges.

Officials stated that in the early hours of Saturday, shortly after midnight, a 29-year-old Rochester woman was returning home after completing her shift at Corewell Hospital in Troy. While traveling on westbound South Boulevard near John R Road, she encountered another driver exhibiting erratic behavior.

Concerned that the other driver, identified as Taylor, may be impaired, the nurse maintained a safe distance.

Eventually, she attempted to overtake Taylor’s vehicle and honked her horn to signal her intention.

At that moment, Taylor rolled down his window and fired a single shot, hitting the side mirror of the nurse’s Jeep Compass and shattering the window.

Fortunately, the nurse escaped unharmed.

Authorities believe the shooting to be a random act, as no apparent connection exists between Taylor and the victim.

The nurse managed to note down the license plate number of Taylor’s vehicle, which enabled detectives to identify him as the suspected shooter.

Taylor was subsequently arrested at around 4:30 p.m. on Saturday when he returned to his residence near Rochester Road and South Boulevard. During the arrest, Taylor did not possess a weapon, but he put up a vigorous fight against the deputies, resulting in minor injuries to one of the detectives on the fugitive team. Detectives also recovered a 9mm handgun believed to have been used in the shooting.

The search operation involved the deployment of the Sheriff’s Search and Rescue Team, helicopters, drones, and K9 units.
