A woman becomes the fifth person to be charged in connection with a deadly home invasion last week in Knox County.

Patrick Baker, Christopher Wagner, Elijah Messer and Angela Mills are all charged with murder in connection to the shooting death that started as a home invasion.
According to Kentucky State Police, two men pretending to be law enforcement broke down the door of Donald Mills’ home on Salt Gum Hollow Road in the Scalf Community of Knox County around 5:00 a.m., shooting and killing the 29-year-old homeowner during the struggle.
Mills’ wife took him to the hospital where he died.
Baker and Wagner were arrested on May 16. The next day, Messer and Angela Mills were also charged.
Melinda Smith, the victim’s sister, says someone who knew about the case told her last week Stephanie Smith was going to be arrested. She also said that same person told her what happened to her brother was premeditated.
The family says they’ve made T-shirts that say “In loving memory of Donald Mills – May Justice Be Served.” They plan on wearing those shirts to all the court appearances as they wait for justice in David’s name.
