Kelby Gavin Miller, a 30-year-old white man from Cocoa, Florida, was shot just before 10:30 p.m. on Sunday, November 16, 2025, near Bristol Drive and A Street. After being struck in the torso he called 911; officers found him gravely wounded on the pavement and he was flown to Holmes Regional Medical Center in Melbourne, where he later died.

Investigators recovered surveillance footage from A Street showing a slim figure in a hoodie pacing and stumbling in the minutes before the shooting. That trail led detectives to the home of 13-year-old Emeril Tytron Rachel. A hoodie stained with blood and marked with dirt was found in the boy’s bedroom, and gunshot residue was reportedly detected on his hand. The boy identified himself in the footage but denied possessing a gun. He was arrested and charged with manslaughter and with possession and use of a firearm during the commission of a felony.

Police are still probing how Miller and Rachel crossed paths that night and where the firearm originated. Does anyone in Cocoa remember seeing either person or have information about that stretch of A Street around 10:30 p.m. on November 16?
