In November of 2013. Miller, was a security guard for San Pedro Belize Express and was instructed to keep Jex away from the water taxi terminal because he was allegedly harassing the tourists.

Jex's version of events was that Miller allegedly threatened to use his baton on him, and so, he grabbed a piece of wood out of some nearby bushes. He then attacked Miller with it and struck him to the back of his head. The attack allegedly continued until someone stopped Jex from inflicting more injuries.

That attack sent Miller into a coma, and several days later, he passed away.
