Joshua Caleb Miller, a 34-year-old white man from Nederland, Texas, was found dead in his Briarcliff Apartments unit on May 29, 2019, from a gunshot wound to his back. The shooting followed an altercation involving three men at or near the apartment complex; witnesses said the dispute escalated and at least one gunshot was fired.

Jonathan Loya, 20, turned himself in the day after the shooting and was charged with one count of murder. Investigators allege Loya grabbed a gun from one of the other suspects during the fight, returned to Miller’s apartment, and the shot was then heard. Loya reportedly fled in a truck; two other suspects left on foot and were still at large at the time of the investigation. Bond was set at $250,000.

The case attracted attention because homicides are rare in Nederland, with only one the previous year and none for several years before that. Anyone with information about the incident or the remaining suspects is asked to come forward.
