Chicago dad shot, killed while driving daughter to school
Travell Miller’s last act before dying in an ambush on the West Side was shielding his 7-year-old daughter from gunfire and possibly saving her life, his family says.
CHICAGO - A prayer vigil was held on Saturday at the corner where a Chicago father died trying to protect his daughter.
Travell Miller, 33, was driving his seven-year-old daughter to school in Humboldt Park on Wednesday when he was killed.
Chicago police said that he was stopped in traffic when a gunman walked up and started shooting.
He was on the phone with his mother at the time.
"To hear my son killed... I would not wish that on anybody," said Aquantas Gilmore, Miller's mother. "I can never get that call out of my head."
Chicago police said that the shooter was driving a two-door silver Pontiac Grand Prix with tinted windows and no plates.
A $4,000 reward is being offered for information leading to an arrest and conviction.
