ROSE TWP. (WWJ) - It's been a mystery in northern Oakland County for three years now:  Who shot and killed Alexandra Brueger while she was jogging along a rural road?

Police have received multiple tips over the years and the investigation is still active, but Brueger's killer remains at large.

"We still have our detectives that are working on this case almost every day but, again, we're still looking for tips from the public," said Michigan State Police Lt. Mike Shaw. "We're hoping that somebody has some information that they haven't shared before or kind of kept to themselves and decided that now is the time that they want to come out and say something to us."

Brueger, a 31-year-old nurse who regularly went for 10-mile runs, was shot multiple times in the back while jogging on Fish Lake Road in rural Rose Township on the afternoon of July 30, 2016. Investigators say she collapsed on a resident’s front lawn and died.
