Melissa Ann Miller, 54, was fatally shot on the evening of Sunday, May 23, 2021, at her home on Ann Avenue in Glasgow, Kentucky. A caregiver to the elderly and described as kind, Miller was shot during a transaction that began with a social media marketplace listing for a computer her grandson was selling.
A man from Nashville, Tennessee, later identified as 24-year-old Aaron Aiden Rodriguez, arranged to buy the computer and traveled to Miller’s residence under a false name with the intention of robbing the sellers. Rodriguez arrived as a passenger in a white, four-door sedan driven by a female, and he shot Miller from the passenger seat. The suspects fled and Miller was taken to T.J. Samson Community Hospital, where she was pronounced dead from a gunshot wound.
Glasgow Police say Miller’s grandson witnessed the shooting and helped identify a suspect; information about the vehicle also proved crucial. Detectives from the Nashville Metro Police Department located Rodriguez and the vehicle at his workplace in Williamson County, Tennessee, and he was taken into custody. Police say the female driver was identified and that charges against her were pending.
