Troy Millick

Authorities have identified the men involved in a deadly shooting Friday at a Maryland Heights business — the second workplace killing over a two-day span in the community. Police said Saturday that Troy Millick, 33, was the employee killed in the incident at PrideStaff, a staffing agency at 11984 Dorsett Road. Officers found Millick shot in an alley outside of the business shortly before 12:30 p.m. Justin Davis, 28, was charged in the killing Saturday with one count of second-degree murder, four counts of armed criminal action, and three counts of robbery. Davis, a former employee at PrideStaff, attempted to rob Millick and two other employees at gunpoint during the deadly encounter, police said. Charging documents allege that after the robbery the victim, Millick, got into a vehicle and attempted to stop Davis from fleeing. Davis is accused of then firing two shots, striking Millick, before fleeing the scene. Millick's personal belongings were found in Davis' car upon his arrest Friday. Charging documents say Davis then admitted to police to taking the items and shooting at Millick. Davis lives near Spanish Lake in north St. Louis County. Millick was a resident of Maryland Heights. Millick's murder marked Maryland Heights' second workplace shooting on the same road in just two days. The day before, an employee of a Dorsett Road auto shop was charged with murder for the Wednesday shooting death of a co-worker, after authorities said they got in an argument. Davis' bail was set at $5 million, cash only.
