Mills, a senior at Cleveland High School, was shot in October 2025 during a late-night bonfire in a heavily wooded area known locally as "The Pit," near Highway 75 North and Clay-Palmerdale Road in Pinson, Alabama.
Authorities said the gathering turned violent after Whitehead arrived shortly after midnight and became involved in a verbal and physical confrontation before pulling out a gun and opening fire.
