A 44-year-old man who authorities say confessed to murdering a 16-year-old boy in Savage earlier this year died in custody Tuesday.
The Scott County Sheriffâs Office said corrections officers found Taran Cortez Miller unresponsive in his cell at approximately 3:46 a.m. Dec. 22.
Miller appeared to be suffering from a medical emergency, according to the sheriffâs office, and officers immediately began performing CPR and continued performing life-saving efforts alongside Allina Emergency Medical Services once they arrived.
