The shooter killed Odalys Maria Bancroft, who worked for Jackson Health System in Florida, alongside her son Theodore on Friday before killing himself, police said.
A Florida hospital director and her 4-year-old son were fatally shot at a Chase Bank drive-thru on Friday by a man Miami-Dade police identified as her ex-boyfriend.
Odalys Maria Bancroft, 43, was with her son Theodore Couto, 4, when Michael Andres Pineda Lozano, 41, pulled up next to their minivan and opened fire, according to a police press release shared with HuffPost. Pineda Lozano then shot and killed himself, the release says.
A sergeant who was already in the area responded to the scene immediately after hearing gunshots, and found Bancroft and her son dead inside the minivan, according to the release. Pineda Lozano was reportedly lying on the ground on the passenger side.
In an internal memo shared with HuffPost, Jackson Health CEO Carlos Migoya said Bancroft was the health network’s director of regulatory affairs.
Migoya described Bancroft as a valued staff member “known for her unwavering dedication, kindness, and exceptional talent.” Bancroft was hired in 2015 as a clinical staff nurse in the operating room at Holtz Children’s Hospital in Miami, according to the memo.
