On April 5, 2007, Clinton Miller, aged 21, was shot and killed in Fort Worth, Texas. The incident occurred in the yard of a house located on Forbes Court, where two suspects were seen fleeing the scene on foot. For several years, the case remained unsolved, becoming part of Fort Worth's growing number of cold cases. However, in 2014, authorities arrested Dredick Wayne Thomas, charging him with Miller's murder.
Thomas was held on a $75,000 bond following his arrest, which helped provide some closure to Miller's grieving family after seven years of uncertainty.
The Fort Worth Police Department and Crime Stoppers worked together over the years to gather new information, which eventually led to the arrest. This case highlights the persistent challenges of solving cold cases and the importance of community assistance in bringing justice for victims like Clinton Miller.
