St. Johns County Deputies responded to a call at 4 am last Wednesday, off of 2660 St. Augustine Blvd, where they found a 16-yr-old who was shot multiple times.
The teenager was transported to Wolfson’s Hospital with non-life threatening injuries and is expected to recover.
According to the St. Johns County Sheriff’s Office arrest report, Grantham Derrick Millwood, 18, is facing two charges of burglary and larceny.
Millwood is currently in custody at the St Johns County Detention Center. He may face more charges to come concerning the shooting.
Upon further investigation, a warrant to search the property was obtained and the St. Johns County Sheriff’s SWAT team was able to search the home.
They found nine individuals, suspected of criminal activity. After getting a warrant to the home, they also found evidence of narcotics, paraphernalia, and stolen firearms.
Two other arrests were made, including Dale Vance Miller for possessing a controlled substance and Eric Scott Miller for possessing drug paraphernalia.
The multiple people are allegedly linked to a recent string of vehicle thefts in the neighboring areas, including the theft of firearms from unlocked vehicles.
According to the arrest report, Millwood’s larceny charge is described as the grand theft of firearms.
On the St. Johns County Sheriff’s Office’s official Facebook page, Sheriff Robert A. Hardwick thanks his staff for their hard work.
“This case was solved due to the relentless police work of our detectives, deputies, and crime scene technicians,” Hardwick says. “I am proud of the hard work the men and women of the St. Johns County Sheriff’s Office exhibit each day and remain humbled to be surrounded by such dedicated individuals who are solely focused on serving and protecting our citizens.”
