The Murder of Jamilla "Millie" Smith

Jamilla 'Millie' Smith, a beloved mother of two, radiated warmth that touched the lives of all who knew her. Tragically, her light was extinguished by the hands of her abusive ex-boyfriend, leaving authorities and her grieving family in a relentless pursuit of justice and answers. 

Police encourage anyone with information to contact the Aiken County Sheriff’s Office at 803-648-6811 or submit a tip at aikencountysheriff.net. The family is offering a $10,000 reward for information in Jamilla’s case. The family is also running a Facebook group, Find Jamilla Smith, where you can stay up to date on the case.
