ABILENE, TX-- The father and son who shot a man in front of his girlfriend have been indicted for murder by a Taylor County grand jury.
Johnnie Dee Allen Miller, 67, and Michael Theodore Miller, 32, shot and killed neighbor Aaron Howard on Sept. 1.
This is the video that was taken by Howard's girlfriend. This video is graphic and viewers discretion is advised.

The video depicts the neighbors disputing over trash when things turn crazy and the two men shoot Howard multiple times.
"When the first shots were fired, Aaron had a bat in his hand and was approximately seven feet from John Miller, who was the closest to him," a press release from the Abilene Police Department stated. "When Michael Miller discharged his shotgun and John Miller fired the final two rounds from his pistol, Aaron Howard was unarmed."
The cause of death was a "gunshot wound of the chest and shotgun wound of the head."
They are both currently in jail with a $500,000 dollar bond, and a trial date has not been announced at this time.
The murder charge is a first degree felony and is punishable by five to 99 years or life in prison.

got killed over damn trash cans.
He should not have taken a bat to a gun fight.
Really he should not have messed with these folks over trash or anything.
So sorry for the girlfriend and family.

PermalinkApparently, these two hayseeds didn't have enough meth or incest to get into that day, and decided to go dig out a mattress their neighbor discarded in the community bin, and toss it back onto his property.
Everyone on this video sounds like insufferable a-holes, and though Mr. Howard was holding a bat and carrying on like a 'roided-up pro wrestler, he was not posing an immediate threat to the two armed parties.
Doughboy there, shot Mr. Howard when he was down. He deserves nothing less than a murder charge, and an even more painful lifetime sentence of kale salads and reading.
