Between July 26, 2023, and August 7, 2023, police received several calls about an incident that happened inside the Deann Drive home. At least one caller advised there was blood inside the home. Police went to the home and photographed the scene, but it was never processed. An internal investigation has been launched into why not.
“On August 7, 2023, CCPD Detectives responded to the home after receiving a call from a biohazard cleaning crew who had some concerns that the home may have possibly been a crime scene,” police said. “Detectives were able to determine it was the place where Mr. Millman sustained his injuries.”

By that time, Millman was in hospice care. He died on August 8.
On October 5, Kevin Flowers was taken into custody on unrelated charges. Police questioned him about Millman’s death and found his answers were inconsistent.
Flowers has since been charged with felony murder and aggravated assault.
It’s unclear what the relationship was between Flowers and Millman or if Flowers was the man who was at the initial scene.
