According to the OCSO, witnesses said Miller came inside Reju Vogue Beauty Supplies and Services on Racetrack Road with a gun Wednesday morning. Miller allegedly threatened to kill people after he said a man inside “came at me with negative energy” earlier the same day, the OCSO said.

After an extensive search, the OCSO said Miller was found hiding in a shed on Carlos Drive.
