At approximately 6:45 p.m. on March 13, Savannah Police and Savannah-Chatham Board of Education officers responded to a call at Myers Middle School, 2025 E. 52nd St. There, officers discovered the body of Joshua Mills, 28.
At this time, SPD considers this a "death investigation."
As SPD spokesperson Bianca Johnson explained, homicide detectives investigate every unattended death. In this case, detectives could not immediately determine what caused Mills's death, so they ordered an autopsy, which will be conducted by the Georgia Bureau of Investigation (GBI).
Detectives believe this is an isolated incident and not associated with the location.
On April 1, Bianca Johnson sent a press release, saying, upon further investigation, SPD detectives have ruled the death a homicide.
"They are continuing to investigate the circumstances surrounding the incident and do not have further details available for release at this time," Johnson wrote in the press release.
Anyone with information about Joshua Mills's death or any other violent crime should call the Violent Crimes Tip Line at (912) 525-3124 or CrimeStoppers at (912) 234-2020.
