When the suspects did not stop, Scott said he followed the SUV in the hope of getting a license plate number. He tailed them into the parking lot of a strip mall and pulled up alongside of them when someone inside the jeep opened fire on his family.
Scott’s wife, Jessica, who was sitting in the passenger seat at the time, was shot in the back and died a short while later in a local in the hospital. The couple had two daughters, a 4-year-old and the youngest who is just one four months old. Both girls were in the SUV when their mother was shot.

“I mean she was the love of my life, we were together 10 years. I’ve known her since middle school,” Scott told KHOU. “She was everything, she meant the world to me. She was my best friend, she was my soul mate, she was the mother of my children, she was everything that I could hope for in life.
“There will never be another one of her. Without her I feel kind of lost.”

Police said they have not made any arrests and are still searching for the suspects. Officers added victims of a hit-and-run should try to get as much information as possible, but avoid following suspects.
Houston Police spokesperson Jodi Silva called Mill’s death a “very tragic turn of events.”

“In a situation where you know somebody has fled a scene, you should always call it in to police and let us handle the situation.” In situations like, this she said:  “Get a good description of the car and a good description of a suspect … we never encourage citizens to chase suspects.”
Police described the suspects in the fatal Monday incidents as two “very young” black males between the ages of 16 and 20. They were last seen driving a gray Jeep Commander with plates reading CN5X057.
Anyone with information on the incident is asked to contact the Houston Police Department Homicide Division.
