James Miller Jr, 21, was fatally shot on April 5, 2016, in Columbus, Ohio. He and Gary Francis were seated in a vehicle near Tussing and Brice Roads when 21-year-old acquaintance Connor Jeffries approached and opened fire, killing both men. Jeffries’ girlfriend, Mia Shamis, was at the scene that night; reports say she later pleaded guilty to involuntary manslaughter for her role in events that followed the shooting.

Investigators say Jeffries and Shamis had driven to the location after a prior drug transaction that involved counterfeit cash. Surveillance footage reportedly captured Jeffries leaving the car, approaching the victims, then fleeing the scene with Shamis. The Franklin County Grand Jury returned an aggravated murder indictment against Jeffries, who also faced tampering with evidence counts.

The deaths of Miller and Francis drew attention because of the circumstances and the ages of those involved. Does anyone have information about Miller’s activities that day or memories of the Tussing and Brice Roads area on April 5, 2016?
