A man who allegedly shot his ex-girlfriend after a fight Saturday afternoon died from a seizure.
After Trevon Miller, 18, was taken into custody he had a seizure, was transported to Shands at UF and died there.
Devin Colson, 18, drove to Miller’s apartment, at 2307 SW 32nd Place, with a 15-year-old friend to retrieve Colson’s personal belongings.
Shortly after Colson entered apartment No. 4 inside Southwood Apartments, she and Miller got into a physical fight upstairs, according to Angelina Valuri, Gainesville Police Department spokeswoman.
Colson left the apartment, and Miller’s roommate, Gbati Djeri, told her not to come back.
Before Colson could start her engine, Miller came out of his apartment and began shooting at the car.
Colson and the 15-year-old girl jumped out of the car.
Djeri charged Miller to prevent him from shooting again, but Miller ran away.
The two got back in the car, and as Colson turned north onto 23rd Street, Miller fired at her car again.
Colson flagged down a police officer on SW 23rd Terrace.
Colson was shot in the neck, but police said her injuries are non-life threatening. The 15-year-old girl was unhurt.
Gainesville Police Department and Alachua County Sheriff’s Office responded to the scene. Officers marked off an inner and outer perimeter.
Miller remained barricaded inside his apartment for 10 to 15 minutes.
During that time, he fired out of the front and back of the apartment’s windows.
No police officers were hurt and they did not shoot back.
Miller then walked outside the apartment and gave himself up to police.
After he was handcuffed he began to convulse.
Emergency medical services arrived and Miller was taken to Shands at UF.
When GPD officers went inside to clear the apartment, they found Miller had turned on the oven full blast and turned on all the faucets, including in the bathtub, so that the apartment was starting to flood.
Colson is being treated for non-life threatening injuries at Shands at UF.
