MIAMI (CBSMiami) - Police have arrested a man for the murder of a woman behind a Miami-Dade preschool Wednesday.
Forty-one-year-old Antonio Wilcox, according to Miami-Dade Police Department, confessed to killing his wife Michelle Wilcox, 33.
Miami-Dade police spokesman Det. Roy Rutland said it began as a domestic fight between the woman and a man in house at 119th Street and 22nd Court, a few blocks away from The Academy of Knowledge Pre-School.
The shooting happened near a preschool at 2240 NW 119 Street in Miami.
As the argument escalated the woman, identified by police as 33-year-old Michelle Wilcox, took off running in fear for her life, the man on her heels. At one point he pulled a gun and fired at her. She was hit and her body collapsed in the grass by the day care.
