Jefferson County Sheriff Dave Marshak has announced an arrest and charges following a homicide on Friday, Oct. 9, that investigators believe began with a road rage incident.
Michael F. Miller, 71, of Fredericktown, is charged with Murder – 1st Degree and Armed Criminal Action for allegedly shooting and killing a man in the 10 block of Ashwood Drive, Fenton.
Deputies were called to the scene around 7:30 p.m. on Oct. 10.
Upon arrival, the first- responding deputy located the victim, who was deceased, with apparent gunshot wounds. The suspect, Miller, was detained at the scene.
Miller then admitted to the shooting, which was corroborated by a witness statement.
Miller was taken into custody without incident and is being held without bond at the Jefferson County Jail.
Investigators believe this is an isolated incident and that there is no danger to the public.
The men and women of the Sheriff’s Office would like to thank Jefferson County Prosecuting Attorney Trisha Stefanski and her staff for moving quickly to obtain an in-custody warrant in this case.
