DIED SATURDAY: Heidi Marie Mills

CHARLOTTE AMALIE – A second person has died on St. Thomas from the injuries she sustained in an early morning shooting incident that took place in Agnes Fancy on Wednesday, according to police.

Heidi Marie Mills, 35, who was arrested on November 17, 2015 and charged with grand larceny, died yesterday at 8:08 a.m. after being shot on January 20 in Estate Thomas, police said.

Another person, described only by police as a “Caucasian male,” was pronounced dead at the scene after 1:29 a.m. on Wednesday. He still has not been identified by name by police.

The man and Mills were described as having been shot in the head and “lying prone in the roadway” when discovered by police on Wednesday morning. Mills was said to be “lying on the ground” and “moaning” by police.

Police said that the unidentifed man had been shot several times in his upper torso as well as his head. While Mills was described as being shot in the head and the lower left leg.

Mills was transported to the Schneider Regional Hospital and Medical Center for treatment Wednesday and was said to be in “serious condition” and “clinging to life” at that time.

In the arrest report for Mills issued by police on November 17, she was described as having “no fixed address.” Authorities said then that she had been captured on video surveillance stealing “items” from the 1st Stop Gas Station in Estate Thomas.

Anyone with information concerning the double shooting deaths is asked to call the Major Crimes Unit at (340) 642-8449, 911 or the anonymous tip service, Crime Stoppers USVI at 1-800-222-8477.
