TROY, Mich. – A Clinton Township man convicted of killing his ex-girlfriend has been sentenced to life in prison without parole.
Cory Mullen was arrested in March 2015 after 21-year-old Jamila Monet Vigier-Cage's body was found slumped in the driver's seat of her car parked outside her workplace in Troy. The Auburn Hills woman had been shot twice in the head and chest.

Troy police said officers were called on a report of a possible homicide on Saturday, March 7, 2017 at about 6:14 p.m. They went to the rear of a building in the 2600 block of Industrial Row where they found Vigier-Cage dead in the car.
Police said Mullen, who was 24 at the time, was Vigier-Cage's ex-boyfriend and father to her 8-month-old son. He was arrested in Detroit the day after Vigier-Cage was found and charged with first-degree murder and felony firearm. A jury convicted him of those charges in September. He was sentenced Wednesday.
Vigier-Cage's family said she worked a full-time job and was taking classes at Oakland Community College. She dreamed of becoming a nurse.
