Willie Mills, a 31-year-old Black man, was killed in the early hours of New Year’s Day 2021 at a Detroit residence on Griggs Street he shared with his girlfriend, Kiantay Lovett-McCall. The death was reported as the city’s first homicide of 2021.

According to reports, an argument between Mills and Lovett-McCall escalated and Lovett-McCall allegedly retrieved a firearm and shot Mills multiple times. Police found Mills on the floor with several gunshot wounds; he was pronounced dead at the scene. Lovett-McCall, then 24, was found outside the house when officers arrived, taken into custody and charged with first-degree murder and felony firearm. A judge set bond at $1 million.
