Bodies Found In Burned Out Medical Center

"DETROIT, MI — Authorities determined Wednesday that a fired maintenance worker fatally shot his ex-girlfriend before turning the gun on himself inside a Detroit medical center as it burned to the ground in a blaze police suspect he set.

"The medical examiner's office confirmed the fears of family members that Sharita Williams, a 35-year-old medical assistant in one of the offices, was killed by 55-year-old Myron Williams, who was fired from his job as the building's maintenance worker last week.

"Both bodies were badly burned when crews digging through the gutted Park Medical Centers building on Detroit's west side recovered their remains late Tuesday, hours after the fire.

"Sarah Bazzi, a spokeswoman for the Wayne County medical examiner's office, said autopsies showed Sharita Williams suffered multiple gunshot wounds and Myron Williams died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head. Myron Williams was married, but not to Sharita Williams, who wasn't related to him.

"Antha Williams-Hill, Sharita Williams' mother, told The Associated Press the couple had been dating for more than a year before the relationship soured. She moved out of the city and changed her telephone number, but eventually her ex-boyfriend caught up with her, Williams-Hill said."
