In the early morning hours of April 13, 2026, a tragedy unfolded at a nursing home in Egg Harbor Township, New Jersey, resulting in the death of 38-year-old Victoria Alexander. A nurse at the Excelcare Rehabilitation Facility, she was ambushed by her estranged husband as she arrived for her shift. The incident has been described by the Atlantic County Prosecutor as a "tragic and deliberate act of domestic violence."
The suspect, 35-year-old Brandon Alexander of Minotola, had been waiting for his estranged wife in the facility's parking lot. When she arrived around 6 a.m., he used his vehicle to block hers. He then entered her car and left two suicide notes on the dashboard. A fortunate, yet ultimately futile, intervention occurred when a food delivery driver asked Brandon Alexander to move his vehicle.
This provided Victoria Alexander a brief opportunity to escape her car and run into her workplace.
Tragically, her estranged husband followed her into the building, where he shot her multiple times before turning the gun on himself. Victoria Alexander was pronounced dead at the scene. Brandon Alexander was transported to a local hospital in critical condition and died from his self-inflicted injuries the following morning. The Atlantic County Prosecutor's Office has stated that the shooting was an isolated incident and that there is no ongoing threat to the public.
