Wayne Mills

Wayne Mills (above) was murdered by Christopher Ferrell in 2013.

On Friday, March 6, a Nashville jury found Christopher Ferrell guilty of the second-degree murder of country musician Wayne Mills. For months, Mills’ friends, fans and family have waited for this attempt at closure after the country artist was shot by Ferrell at a Nashville bar owned by the defendant, after an altercation between the two on Nov. 23, 2013. Ferrell claimed that the shooting was in self-defense. He will be sentenced on April 10. Mills was very popular not just in Music City but also The Port City, playing venues around here quite regularly, such as the former Monsoon’s and Flora-Bama, among others.
