Full Video: Father and Son Shot Man Dead in Argument Over Mattress
September 21, 2018 23087Kara Box fought back tears Thursday as she recalled the morning her common-law husband was shot to death in a dispute over a twin mattress in a dumpster.
“I stepped in between Aaron and John (Miller), then my ears started ringing from the gunshots,†Box said in a telephone interview from her home in Abilene as she sobbed. “I just screamed and screamed.â€
Box talked about the fatal shooting just hours after releasing a video of the dispute between her husband, 37-year-old Aaron Howard, and his neighbors, John Miller, 67, and his son, Michael Miller, 31.
The 2-minute video captures the anger between the Millers and Howard on the morning of Sept. 1 in an Abilene neighborhood. Abilene is about 150 miles west of Fort Worth.
Box captured the tragic scene on her cellphone as she sought to gather evidence for Abilene police.
