A veterinary student died after being left in the middle of a road with severe head trauma.

Mia Kanu, a 23-year-old student at Tennessee State University, was found on a road in Southfield, Michigan on June 3.

Kanu was found by a stranger, and was taken to a local hospital with critical injuries, including severe head trauma.

Police in Southfield said Kanu had attended a party earlier that night. She ended the night driving home in a car with a female driver and a male passenger.

Police say surveillance footage from that night shows Kanu exit the vehicle onto the roadway in front of the Coach Apartments. It is unclear if she fell out, or was violently pushed from the car.

The car then drove off, leaving Kanu on the road. The footage has not yet been released to the public.

Kanu’s family is left wondering why the people she was driving with didn’t go back to help her or call 911.

‘If they could just tell the true story of what happened and why they didn’t go back for her, why they didn’t help her more. I would really want to know that,’ her mother Bianca Vanmeter told Fox 2.

Both of the car’s occupants were tracked down and interviewed by police, but investigators have released few details about suspects or persons of interest in the case. They have confirmed they are treating the death as a homicide.

‘It’s our understanding that there was an argument between the driver and another individual in the parking lot of the apartment complex that they had left,’ Southfield Deputy Police Chief Jeff Jagielski said.

Kanu was placed on life support, but never regained brain activity. She died days after the incident, and her organs were donated.
