Shooting near 37th and Concordia in Milwaukee
According to the FBI, Bills shot McMillan multiple times as a result of an argument over a woman. He drove to McMillan's location, authorities said, got out of his vehicle and shot McMillian in the street multiple times before driving off. McMillian was unarmed, FBI officials said, and an investigation revealed Bills may have been dealing drugs.
A warrant was issued for Bills' arrest in October 2016, followed by a federal warrant in August 2017. The FBI later offered a $10,000 reward; officials believed at the time he may have fled Wisconsin. He was ultimately taken into custody in May 2019 after years on the run.
