Andre Anthony Miller
Introduction
Andre Anthony Miller, a 33-year-old man from Parker, Arizona, was sentenced to 336 months — 28 years — in federal prison for shooting his former intimate partner in front of her minor children on the Colorado River Indian Tribes Reservation, a shooting she survived for roughly eleven months before dying of her injuries . Miller pleaded guilty to second-degree murder, and U.S. District Judge Diane J. Humetewa imposed the 28-year term on June 23, 2026, along with five years of supervised release. The FBI’s Phoenix Division and the Colorado River Indian Tribes Police Department built the case.
Background Information
The February 2024 shooting happened on the Colorado River Indian Tribes (“CRIT”) Reservation, where violent crime is prosecuted federally, and both Miller and the victim were enrolled CRIT members . The relationship between the two was a former intimate partnership, and the shooting took place in front of the victim’s minor children, a detail the Justice Department’s release states directly. Miller was arrested and prosecuted in the District of Arizona; the victim’s death roughly eleven months later converted what began as a shooting with life-threatening injuries into a murder case, and Miller’s guilty plea to second-degree murder resolved it.
The Controversy or Incident That Led to Their Cancellation
Convicted and sentenced. Miller pleaded guilty to second-degree murder and was sentenced to 336 months in prison.
On February 18, 2024, on the CRIT Reservation, Miller shot the victim — a former intimate partner — in front of her minor children . The shooting left her with life-threatening injuries, including quadriplegia. She survived the initial attack but died from her injuries approximately eleven months later, in early 2025.
Miller pleaded guilty to second-degree murder. At his sentencing on June 23, 2026, Judge Humetewa sentenced him to 336 months in prison, to be followed by five years of supervised release . The sentencing captures the full arc of the crime in a single number: the children who watched their mother be shot, the paralysis she lived with for her final months, and her death, all of it traced back to the man federal prosecutors and tribal investigators held responsible.
Public Reaction and Consequences
The consequence is the sentence itself: 28 years in federal prison for a man who was 33 at sentencing, meaning he will be in his early sixties before supervised release even begins . The Justice Department’s release carries no statement from the victim’s family and no comment from Miller or his counsel; what it does record is the institutional response — an FBI Phoenix Division investigation worked jointly with the CRIT Police Department, and a prosecution handled by Assistant U.S. Attorney Christina J. Reid-Moore of the District of Arizona. The case sits within the federal government’s Indian Country docket, where crimes of domestic violence on tribal land are prosecuted as federal offenses.
Current Status
Miller is serving a 336-month sentence imposed by Judge Diane J. Humetewa on June 23, 2026, followed by five years of supervised release . The case number is 24-CR-00743-PHX-DJH, release number 2026-119_Miller. His guilty plea stands as the conviction of record; there is no public record of an appeal. The sentence was calculated from the death of a woman who spent the last eleven months of her life paralyzed because he shot her in front of her children.
Impact on Their Career/Life
At 33, Miller’s bio is now a federal murder conviction and a 28-year term . The Justice Department’s account of the case — a former partner shot before her children, quadriplegia, death eleven months later — is permanent public record attached to his name. For the CRIT community, the case is another entry in the federal response to domestic-violence killings on the reservation; for the victim’s children, the sentence is the legal system’s final word on the man who took their mother.
