Gary Mills, Jr., a 45-year-old resident of Jacksonville, Florida, died on January 7, 2024, following a home invasion robbery. The incident occurred on January 7, 2024, at a residence on Argyle Forest Boulevard on Jacksonville’s westside. During the home invasion, Mills was shot and found critically injured. He was taken to the hospital, where he later succumbed to his injuries.
The Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office is actively investigating the case and has released photos of the suspects and a picture of a car they may have been using. The surveillance footage from the night of the incident, which was later edited and released by Mills’ family, shows two individuals dressed in all black pointing guns at Gary Mills. One of the gunmen is notable for wearing orange tennis shoes.
Mills’ family is seeking the community's help in solving the case, expressing concern that it could go cold without new information. They believe that someone with knowledge about the shooting will come forward to help bring justice for Gary Mills. His sister, Genay Mills, emphasized the significant impact Gary had on their family, describing him as a source of hope and inspiration who encouraged them to explore opportunities beyond Jacksonville.
The investigation remains ongoing, and the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office is urging anyone with information to contact them at 904-630-0500 or to call CrimeStoppers to remain anonymous at 866-845-TIPS (8477).
