Scott Wade Hyatt, 51, was shot and killed during a robbery at his Indialantic, Florida, home on October 19, 2014. The attack occurred when two people targeted Hyatt for his prescription pain pills; a 25-year-old, Joseph Howard Milman, entered the residence and shot Hyatt and another man, Robert Mell. Mell survived and was taken to Holmes Regional Medical Center in critical condition, while Hyatt died of his wounds.

Investigators say the robbery was planned in advance: Milman obtained a firearm from a 17-year-old accomplice, who then joined the scheme. After the shooting, Milman searched Hyatt’s pockets for pills, returned to the juvenile’s home to split the medication, and both suspects were arrested soon after. Milman faced charges that included first-degree murder, attempted first-degree murder, and robbery with a firearm; the juvenile was charged for providing the gun and participating in the robbery.

What details about the robbery or its planning might still help explain how this violent encounter unfolded?
