Palm Beach County State Attorney Alexcia Cox announces that a grand jury has indicted Hugh Earp Milner Jr. on charges of first-degree murder with a firearm, attempted second-degree murder with a firearm, felon in possession of a firearm, and shooting into an occupied vehicle.

The indictment follows an investigation by the West Palm Beach Police Department into the September 27 shooting that took the life of Akeem Moore, a local minister. Detectives determined that Milner fired shots at Moore’s car while Moore and a passenger were inside.

Statement from State Attorney Cox: “Akeem Moore was a young man who served the community through his ministry and his music. This senseless act of violence leaves lasting pain for those who knew and loved him. My office remains committed to holding violent offenders accountable and seeking justice on behalf of victims. This indictment serves as a critical first step.”

This case will be prosecuted by the Homicide Unit of the State Attorney’s Office.
