Rodney L. Miller Jr. was a 25-year-old Black man from Dover, Delaware, who was killed the evening of February 28, 2017, when gunfire erupted at Towne Point Apartments, 820 Carvel Drive. At about 7:40 p.m. a Dover police officer patrolling nearby heard several shots and soon found Miller inside a parked vehicle behind the apartment buildings. He had suffered fatal gunshot wounds and was pronounced dead at the scene.

Investigators asked residents and the public for information but did not release a suspect description, a getaway vehicle, a motive, or witness identifications. Miller’s obituary lists a young son, his parents, a stepmother, four brothers and a sister; funeral services were held on March 11, 2017.

Who approached the vehicle that night, why Miller was at that parking spot, and how the shooter left remain unanswered. If anyone has information about that evening at Towne Point Apartments, please share it with the Dover Police Department or Delaware Crime Stoppers.
