Someone walked up to his car while he sat outside his own house and shot him dead in the middle of a quiet Tuesday night, leaving behind nothing but questions and a shattered sense of safety. **Zaccheus Miller**, a **25-year-old** man from **Gretna, Florida**, was
found slumped in the driver’s seat of his vehicle on Oak Avenue** around **10:22 p.m.**, suffering from multiple gunshot wounds. By the time emergency crews arrived, it was too late — he had died before paramedics could even begin to help.Investigators with the **Gadsden County Sheriff’s
Office** say Miller appeared to have been targeted while sitting in his car outside his home. No arrests have been made, and authorities have not yet identified a suspect or motive. Neighbors reported hearing several gunshots, followed by the screech of tires as a vehicle sped away. Detectives are canvassing the area for security footage and urging anyone with information to come forward.
The quiet neighborhood, where families have lived for generations, is now gripped by fear and disbelief. “This just doesn’t happen here,” one resident said. “Zaccheus was a good kid. He didn’t bother anyone.” Friends and family describe him as hardworking, respectful, and deeply loved — someone who always had a smile and a kind word.As investigators search for answers, his loved ones are left with unbearable grief and unanswered questions.
A small memorial of candles and flowers has begun to grow near the driveway where he took his last breath — a solemn reminder of the fragility of life and the cruelty of senseless violence.What was once a quiet street in a peaceful Florida town is now marked by tragedy, and until justice is served, the community of Gretna will continue to mourn and look over its shoulder in sorrow and fear.
