Price was soon rushed to a hospital and is said to be in a stable condition on Wednesday, May 20. While Mills was pronounced dead at the scene. Price is reportedly the mother of Mills’ 4-year-old daughter, Mila. 
 
Meanwhile, the Graves County Jail website showed Mills was arrested on several occasions. In 2016, he was arrested for a DUI, for wanton endangerment in 2017, and second-degree assault in 2018. On March 30, this year, he was again arrested and charged with first-degree rape and sodomy, as well as kidnapping and possession of methamphetamine. He was released from jail on bond on May 6. 
 
Mills was best known for playing Lucky in Zach Galifianakis' US comedy ‘Baskets’ and also starred in the show ‘Swedish Dicks’, a comedy about private investigators. Along with those roles, he also acted in an Indie film called ‘Star Light’, which was released back in February. Promoting the film on his Facebook page, Mills wrote in October, “Check out the trailer release and the article on Deadcentral.com of the highly anticipated horror film Starlight. I am extremely thankful for the wonderful opportunity to have worked on this amazing project with so many remarkably talented folks, #Dreamteam #FabSix both in front, and behind the camera!” 
 
“I play the character Monty, the bourgeois baller who’s the smooth sultan of swagger, party liaison, teenage Adonis, captain of charm, charisma as well the basketball team. With a scholarship to play at the next level, it’s just a short countdown of days before he waves goodbye to his rural roots and starts the next chapter of his life and college career. If he lives that long. I personally have yet to see this movie although I eagerly await. And due to an absentminded issue with an airline ticket, I’m lamented to say that it looks like I won’t be attending the private screening tomorrow night in Beverly Hills. I do wish all who do attend, safe travels an amazing time. Wish I could be there with y’all,” he added in the post.
