On September 18th, 2024
at 0345 hours Cpl Grossman and I were dispatched to [1600 BLOCK] New Castle St regarding a generic law call. Upon our arrival on scene I activated my BWC.
We approached the front on the residence and observed the front glass door was shattered. The front door was open with a blood trail leading inside the residence. We heard yelling coming from inside the residence as well. Dispatch was notified to hold the air. We unholstered our department issued handguns and entered the residence. The bathroom door was closed with blood stains on it. I heard yelling from inside. I opened the door and saw the suspect, later identified as Earis Miller, on top of the victim, later identified as [VICTIM ], striking him in the head. Mr. Miller was told to drop the black handgun that was in his hands. He dropped the gun and was taken into custody by Cpl Grossman.
