Officers and medics were called after getting reports of a crash in the parking lot of the old Kroger store at 5520 Burkhardt in Riverside on Oct. 4.

Mills was taken to a Miami Valley Hospital in serious condition. A spokesperson for the Riverside Police Department previously confirmed with News Center 7 that he died Monday morning after he was taken off life support due to a brain/head injury that occurred during the incident.

In a 911 call obtained by News Center 7, a caller told dispatchers that a couple was fighting outside prior to the incident.

“He’s barely moving, he’s on the ground,” the caller told dispatchers.
