ORANGE PARK, Fla. \u2013 A Clay County jury has found Kiaun Miller guilty of second-degree murder in the December 2020 shooting death of his ex, with whom he shared a son.<\/p>\n
Miller will be sentenced at a later date.<\/p>\n
According to State Attorney Melissa Nelson, the victim and the 2-year-old son she shared with Miller moved into an apartment with Miller and Miller\u2019s current girlfriend in Orange Park in December 2020.<\/p>\n
On Dec. 21, 2020, Miller and the victim took what was supposed to be a day trip to Orlando, but that evening Miller returned to the apartment without the victim, prosecutors said.<\/p>\n
Four days later, the victim returned to the apartment to get her son, which sparked an argument that became physical. <\/p>\n
During the fight, Miller got a handgun and pointed it at the victim as she held their son and told her that she was not taking their child. <\/p>\n
As she walked out, Miller followed her \u2014 still with the gun \u2014 and took the son from her and went back inside the apartment. <\/p>\n
The victim returned inside to retrieve the child, and the argument continued, with the victim slapping Miller at one point. <\/p>\n
He then shot her three times, and the victim died at the scene. She was not armed when Miller shot her.<\/p>\n
The case was investigated by the Clay County Sheriff\u2019s Office and prosecuted by Assistant State Attorneys Ashley Terry and Cara Devlin.<\/p>\n
