A family dispute in a Las Vegas hotel room turned deadly on August 4, 2022. Acturius Dwayne Milner, 49, of Manitowoc, Wisconsin, was shot multiple times and pronounced dead at the scene inside room 8020 at The Mirage. Two women who were with Milner were critically injured in the same shooting.

Police say the altercation began as play fighting between Milner and his cousin, 54-year-old Billy Hemsley. Hemsley told officers that he became angry after Milner choked him, then produced a gun and shot Milner multiple times; Hemsley also shot Milner’s daughter and her friend. Hemsley fled but was arrested the next morning at a bus station and charged with one count of murder and two counts of attempted murder.

Court records show Hemsley has prior violent convictions in Las Vegas dating back to 2000, including a 2003 guilty plea for aiming a firearm at a cousin named Aucturius Milner and a 2012 stabbing for which he served prison time and was released in 2019.

If anyone was in or near The Mirage that evening and saw what happened in or around room 8020, please share information.
