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.
