OAKLAND COUNTY, Mich. – Oakland County sheriff’s deputies were searching for a man who is accused of “randomly” shooting at a nurse who was driving home from work in Rochester Hills.

Cortez, 29, is being held at the Oakland County Jail.
“I am proud of the tireless work our team put into this to ensure this dangerous individual was quickly arrested before anyone was killed,” Sheriff Michael Bouchard said.
