Jun. 6—One of two people accused of a Christmas Eve drive-by shooting has pleaded guilty.
Tre'a Lynette Miller, 26, of Trotwood, pleaded guilty in Montgomery County Common Pleas Court to one count of felonious assault, according to the Montgomery County Prosecutor's Office.
Miller was charged along with Jaevon Nathaniel Wells, 31, connected to a shooting early Dec. 24, 2024 near Fortman and Hackett drives.
The Montgomery County Sheriff's Office said deputies were called around 5:45 a.m. and found a male victim with gunshot wounds, as well as multiple shell casings.
Security footage showed that it was a drive-by shooting and identified the suspect vehicle and license plate number, the sheriff's office said.
On further investigation, the sheriff's office said it identified Wells and Miller as the shooters.
Both were indicted on three counts of felonious assault with three-year firearm specifications, though Wells was also indicted on one count of having a weapon while under disability.
Miller is scheduled to be sentenced July 2.

Ohio man charged for allegedly threatening US Congressman Max Miller

By Brad Brooks (Reuters) -Police in Ohio said on Friday they had arrested a man after he allegedly ran a U.S. Congressman off a road, threatened the politician and his family, and yelled antisemitic slurs and waved a Palestinian flag before fleeing. Police in Rocky River, Ohio, said in a statement that they had arrested Feras Hamdan, 36, of Ohio, in connection to the alleged targeting on Thursday of U.S. Representative Max Miller, a Republican representing Ohio, in the suburb about 10 miles (16 km) west of downtown Cleveland. Hamdan, police said, voluntarily turned himself into police. Hamdan was arraigned on Friday and charged with aggravated menacing and ethnic intimidation, according to Deborah Comery, the Rocky River Municipal Court clerk. Hamdan, who could face up to five months in jail, pleaded not guilty and is being held on a $500,000 bond. Hamdan's attorney, Issa Elkhatib, said in a written statement that the allegations against Hamdan were "baseless and outrageous" and that they "amount to defamatory attacks on his character and reputation." Elkhatib said that Hamdan was a respected local doctor who had no prior criminal history, and that he was confident "the truth will win and that Dr. Hamdan's good name will be fully vindicated." Political violence in the U.S. has been on the increase. A man in Minnesota was arrested on suspicion of assassinating a state lawmaker and her husband last weekend, and shooting and injuring another lawmaker and his wife. The Rocky River police statement said that Miller called 911 on Thursday morning to report that he was run off the road while traveling with his family on Interstate 90 in Ohio. The police said Miller reported an assailant yelled antisemitic slurs and waved a Palestinian flag. "The deranged hatred in this country has gotten out of control," Miller wrote on social media. "As a Marine, a proud Jewish American and a staunch defender of Israel, I will not hide in the face of this blatant antisemitic violence," he wrote.

Police in northeast Ohio arrest man who allegedly menaced GOP US Rep. Max Miller on interstate

COLUMBUS, Ohio -- A northeast Ohio man was arrested Thursday on allegations that he threatened and spewed antisemitic epithets at Republican U.S. Rep. Max Miller while the two were traveling on an interstate highway near Cleveland. Police in Rocky River said Feras S. Hamdan, 36, of Westlake, voluntarily turned himself in with counsel present and is awaiting an appearance in municipal court. A message was left with his lawyer seeking comment. Miller, who is Jewish, called 911 while driving on Interstate 90 on his way to work Thursday. He reported that another driver was cutting him off, making profane hand gestures, showing a Palestinian flag and shouting death threats targeted at him and his 1-year-old daughter. After an interview with police, Miller filed a complaint against Hamdan alleging aggravated menacing and sought a criminal protective order. Local police continue to investigate with assistance from the U.S. Capitol Police, the Ohio State Highway Patrol, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the U.S. Attorney's office and the Rocky River prosecutor. The Ohio Jewish Caucus praised Rocky River police and extended their thoughts to Miller and his family, noting the incident followed by just days the politically motivated shootings in Minnesota, which left two people dead and two others injured. 'Enough is enough," the all-Democratic legislative alliance said in a statement. "There is no place for this type of violence — whether it be political, antisemitic, or ideological — whatsoever. We believe we can solve our differences with humility, not hatred.'

Alleged Jew hater arrested for trying to run Rep. Max Miller off road while showing Palestinian flag and using slurs

Ohio police have arrested a man for allegedly attempting to run Republican Rep. Max Miller off the road Thursday while using anti-Jewish slurs and flying a Palestinian flag. Miller, 36, said in a video posted to X that an 'unhinged, deranged man decided to lay on his horn and run me off the road when he couldn't get my attention to show me a Palestinian flag.' Feras S. Hamdan, also 36, was arrested and charged with aggravated menacing following an investigation, the Rocky River, Ohio, police department said in a Friday press release. 3 Rep. Max Miller says he was the victim of an anti-Jewish road incident Thursday. AP 3 Feras Hamdan was arrested after police investigated. A police report says Miller accused Hamdan of calling him a 'dirty Jew.' 'Congressman Miller reported he was driving on Interstate 90 [around 9:30 a.m. Thursday] when the suspect threatened him and his family along with making antisemitic slurs,' the department said. '[T]he second party to the road rage incident was identified as [Hamdan] from Westlake… Hamdan voluntarily turned himself in at the Rocky River Police Department, with counsel, and is awaiting a court appearance.' 3 Miller says Hamdan called him a 'dirty Jew.' X/@MaxMillerOH The First Amendment generally protects Americans' use of religious and racial slurs, but when used in the commission of a crime can result in hate-crime designations for enhanced punishment. It was not immediately clear if Hamdan will face more stringent prosecution as a result. Miller, who represents and area south of Cleveland, is one of four Jewish House Republicans and worked in President Trump's first administration as an advance and personnel office aide.
