On May 17, police responded to a domestic call at an apartment near Sahara Avenue and Fort Apache Road.
Officers discovered Miljus laying beside a woman, Zvjezdana Bencun, with an apparent head wound.
Bencun was transported to the University Medical Center but did not survive from her injuries.

"I'm not happy, but I don't feel sorry for what I did either" Miljus told 13 Action News from the Clark County Detention Center just hours after his first court appearance earlier this week.
Officers say the couple was involved in a previous domestic-related incident and a teen notified authorities about the May 17 situation by calling them from a nearby gas station.
