BREVARD COUNTY, Fla. — Thirty-year-old Kelby Miller, a Brevard County man who grew up attending Merritt Island Christian School with his twin brother, is being remembered as a devoted son, grandson, and sibling.
His father and grandmother say he never missed an opportunity to spend time with his family — a family now grieving his loss.
According to Cocoa police, Miller traveled to Bristol Drive in Cocoa on the night of November 16th.
His father says Kelby believed he was meeting a woman he’d connected with on an online dating site.
But within minutes of his arrival in the neighborhood, a single fatal gunshot rang out.
Investigators say surveillance video from the area captured a suspect, a 13-year-old boy, walking toward the scene and later running away from it.
Police say a gunshot residue test also revealed gunpowder on the boy’s right hand, though the teen denied ever firing a gun.
Miller’s family is now preparing to lay him to rest.
