Lavoris Jermaine Brown, 42, was shot and killed on August 23, 2018, at Sullivan Park in Hendersonville, North Carolina. A bystander was also wounded. First responders pronounced Brown dead at the scene. Mills fled but was arrested four days later while riding as a passenger on Four Seasons Boulevard.

At trial Mills said he acted in self-defense, claiming Brown had a weapon and that he feared for his life and his girlfriend’s. Witnesses did not report seeing a weapon and none was found on or near Brown. The jury found Mills guilty of first-degree murder, and Superior Court Judge William H. Coward sentenced him to life without parole. Does anyone have information about what happened that night or knew Lavoris Brown?
