During their investigation, officers located a light blue Chevy Tahoe in a wooded area behind Rosedale Elementary School. Inside the vehicle were two occupants. Investigators discovered Miltorious Britton suffering from fatal gunshot wounds. Tragically, he was pronounced dead at the scene. A second occupant inside the vehicle was not injured.

While investigators work to establish the full circumstances surrounding the incident, family members and friends are focused on remembering the life of Miltorious Britton and the impact he had on those around him.

Miltorious was far more than the victim of a tragic act of violence. He was a son, a relative, a friend, and a valued member of his community. Those who knew him remember a person whose life was intertwined with the people who cared about him most. His sudden passing has left an immeasurable void in the hearts of loved ones who are now forced to navigate a future without his presence.
