A maniac heartlessly gunned down an Alabama nurse and mother of two young children as she walked to her car after work while on the phone with her husband, who heard her pleading for her life moments before she was shot.
“Please don’t. I have babies,” were the final terrified words spoken by Ada Doss, 27, a nurse manager at DCH Regional Medical Center in Tuscaloosa, before Matthew Taylor allegedly shot her dead on May 12.
Taylor was dropped off at the hospital that day by a friend or family member, but authorities said he “never entered the hospital or the emergency room, but instead loitered on DCH’s campus for several hours,” according to AL.com.
Doss was walking to her car in the parking lot after finishing her shift when Taylor approached her, allegedly brandishing a handgun and demanding her keys.
She was talking on the phone with her husband, Andrew, at the time about their dinner plans and the nightly routines for their 6-month and 2-year-old-daughters.
Doss kept walking, but Taylor stalked her through the parking lot pointing the gun at her until she reached the vehicle, at which point he shot her one time, investigators said.
Her heartbroken husband has since filed a wrongful death suit seeking unspecified damages against DCH Health Care and Universal Protection Services, which provides security services for the hospital, claiming negligence.
Taylor was arrested and charged with capital murder.
