A body found inside a storage unit in Ogden led investigators to treat the case as a homicide. On the late evening of May 29, 2014, a woman called police after discovering 43-year-old Elgie Ray Mills Jr. in a unit at an industrial park near 2930 Pennsylvania Avenue. Responding officers opened a homicide investigation; an autopsy later confirmed Mills had been shot twice in the chest and once in the head. Investigators believed he had been killed at least a day earlier.

Surveillance footage from a neighboring unit showed Mills entering the storage unit about 2:30 p.m. on May 28, where Shawn Gerrald Boehme and another person were already inside. Witnesses reported hearing loud noises that afternoon. Boehme left the unit alone and fled, abandoning his truck in western Weber County; police later arrested him in Layton. During interviews he admitted to shooting Mills and offered multiple, conflicting explanations for his actions. Boehme was charged with first-degree felony murder and two counts of possession of a firearm by a restricted person, pleaded guilty but mentally ill, and was sentenced to 15 years to life for the killing of his friend Elgie Ray Mills Jr.

Are there any details about Mills, his movements that week, or the storage unit business that someone who knew him could add?
