Tavares L. Miller was 21 and lived in Sarasota, Florida. He was found dead on December 13, 2010, with multiple gunshot wounds; authorities classified his death as a homicide and the Sarasota Police Department opened an investigation.

Investigators questioned several people and pursued multiple leads before identifying a suspect. That person was arrested and charged with first-degree murder. The case went to trial, where prosecutors presented witness testimony and forensic evidence; the defendant was found guilty of Miller’s murder.

Tavares’s family and the Sarasota community followed the proceedings closely as the legal process unfolded. Does anyone have memories of Tavares or information from Sarasota in December 2010 that could add context to this case?
