Jerome Miller was a 30-year-old man from Bradenton, Florida, who was killed on April 6, 2019. He was found inside his SUV after it had crashed into a Rooms-To-Go store; the vehicle had been struck by multiple bullets and Miller died of gunshot wounds at a nearby hospital despite EMS and fire crews responding. Investigators say he was driving along Cortez Road when an unknown assailant fired into his vehicle, causing the crash. The Manatee County Sheriff’s Office opened a homicide investigation, called the shooting a targeted attack, and offered a $5,000 reward for information leading to an arrest and conviction.

Miller was a father and husband who worked at a local cemetery. His mother, Denise Miller, asked the public for help identifying the shooter. The case remains unsolved with no arrests or suspects publicly identified. If anyone has information about Miller, his movements that night, or the shooting on Cortez Road, please come forward.
