First Watch: “Just a Party” in the Woods: The Night 18-Year-Old Kimber Mills Was Shot

An Alabama bonfire that teens called “The Pit” turned into a war zone when 27-year-old Steven Tyler Whitehead pulled a gun and fired 13 rounds into the crowd, killing 18-year-old cheerleader Kimber Mills as she tried to break up a fight and later walked her final “honor walk” as an organ donor. Then, Katie looks into a case across state lines in Forney, Texas, where a long-simmering feud between neighbors ended with 35-year-old father and business owner Aaron Martinez shot 32 times on a country road by Trevor McEuen, who then cut off his ankle monitor, burned his own house, and went on the run before a SWAT team dragged him back to face a capital murder conviction. In today’s episode, Katie follows how a night of drinking in the woods and a bitter property line dispute both escalated to gunfire, life-altering trauma, and community outrage.
