At about 10:40 a.m. Oct. 18, an elderly man employed at The Home Depot was injured by a man committing larceny from the store. The employee, then 82, was injured as the man was leaving the store’s garden area with a shopping cart containing three pressure washers. Surveillance footage released by the store appears to show the man pushing the employee, who then fell to the ground. The employee died Nov. 30, due to complications from the injuries received.

Investigators with the Hillsborough Police Department apprehended McMillian without incident. They were aided by the State Bureau of Investigation and the Federal Bureau of Investigation Raleigh-Durham Safe Streets Task Force in conjunction with the Durham County and Orange County sheriff’s offices.

Hillsborough police detectives consulted with the Orange County District Attorney’s Office and received support from the office regarding the charging decision prior to the arrest.

“We are glad we were able to bring some closure to this case and are very appreciative of the family’s patience and support,” Hillsborough Police Chief Duane Hampton said. “This was a team effort involving many of our local criminal justice partners, the SBI and the public.”
