On February 26, 2019, 18-year-old Katavis Malik Miller was shot and killed at a residence just south of Louisville in Winston County, Mississippi. Miller, a standout athlete at Noxapater High School who played football and basketball, suffered multiple gunshot wounds; the fatal wound was to his upper chest. He was taken to a local hospital where he later died.

Authorities say the shooting followed a disagreement that escalated. Investigators identified another 18-year-old, Jared Hannah of Louisville, as the suspect. Hannah fled after the shooting and was found about four hours later hiding in the top of a closet in a house on Odie Shields Road, not far from the scene. He was arrested, charged with Miller’s murder, and a judge denied him bond. Officials stated they did not expect additional arrests.

If anyone has information about the events that morning or knew Malik, please share what you know with investigators.
