Donovan Mills was a 21-year-old LeMoyne-Owen College student from Detroit studying criminal justice when he was shot during an attempted robbery on the night of December 12, 2016. He was found in the 800 block of Saxon and Lenow and taken to the Regional Medical Center in extremely critical condition. He died of his injuries on December 13, 2016.

Friends, family and members of his church remembered him as popular, caring and dedicated to his studies; a vigil on campus brought the college community together after he had just completed his final exams. The Memphis Police Department investigated and on January 17, 2017 arrested 19-year-old Christian Ellis, who was charged with first-degree murder in the perpetration of a robbery.

Does anyone who knew Donovan or who was in that neighborhood on December 12 have information that could add detail about what happened that night?
