Kerigan Danielle Mullins was shot and killed on September 28, 2020, in Portageville, Missouri. She was 18 and a student at Portageville High School. Friends and family called her Keri-G or Karebear and remembered her as a vibrant presence in the community.

According to statements to law enforcement, Mullins was with her boyfriend, Adam Milburn, at a residence in Portageville and sitting in Milburn’s vehicle when he discharged a weapon. Mullins was struck and later died of her injuries. Milburn was arrested and initially charged with second-degree murder and unlawful use of a weapon; the venue was changed to Caruthersville. In January 2023 Milburn pleaded guilty to second-degree murder and the weapon charge was dismissed. In April 2023 a judge sentenced him to 25 years in the Missouri Department of Corrections; a request for credit for time served was denied. Mullins’ family has since taken steps to honor her memory, including opening a store dedicated to her legacy.

Did anyone in the Portageville community have information about Kerigan’s final hours or knew her as Keri-G?
