Authorities have said it was a domestic violence incident that unfolded at her workplace.
The tragedy has galvanized victim advocates and state lawmakers who say Michigan needs to do more to protect survivors before violence turns deadly.
“Nobody asks to be a victim of crime,” said Christine Kinal, CEO of HAVEN of Oakland County, which serves survivors of domestic and sexual violence. “Nobody gets up in the morning and says this is how I want my day to go, and unfortunately, it happens.”
For advocates, Green-Brown’s killing is part of a troubling pattern.
