Several charges have been brought against a Florida man who shot his roommate after discovering him in his teenage daughter’s room while undressed.
Dayne Victor Miller, the home’s 44-year-old owner, was detained at his residence early on Wednesday after calling police and confessing to firing at his two adult roommates through a closed bedroom door, according to a statement from Cape Coral police.
The official investigation states that Miller admitted to shooting at the couple after seeing one of them naked in his teenage daughter’s room.
The teenager was asleep in her bed when she noticed the naked man beside her. Miller’s daughter then went to tell her dad what happened.
Authorities said Miller had rented a room in the house to a couple and that Miller and the couple had both been drinking heavily earlier in the night.
NBC2 News reported that the naked man confessed to police that he’d been drinking that night and had gotten up to use the bathroom. He said that after he left the bathroom, he accidentally went into the teenager’s room.
The naked man’s wife proceeded to wake him up, shouting that he was in the wrong room. After he woke up, the couple returned to their room. That’s when Miller approached their bedroom and began banging on the door.
According to the NBC2 News, Miller shouted, “I’ll kill you,” after the door was shut and locked on him.
“They’re nice people so we’ve never really had any problems. What happened with his daughter and everything…that’s kind of disturbing,” neighbor Monica Taylor told the publication. “I didn’t even know that they were renting a room out in that house.”
Police stated that Miller had fired his handgun three to four times into the floor right outside of the couple’s bedroom door.
Miller was subsequently charged with two counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and one weapon offense.
As of Friday morning, March 10, he remained in custody with the Lee County Sheriff’s Office. He is due back in court on April 10.
