On Wednesday, a judge dismissed the case against Million who had been charged with voluntary manslaughter in the shooting death of 53-year-old Tony Singleton. "There are nights I don't sleep, I didn't sleep last night, I haven't slept a good full eight hours in over a year," Million said after Judge Joseph Ellis ruled what the officer did was not illegal and that the Henrico Commonwealth's Attorney had not presented enough evidence for a jury to decide on the case. "The rush of emotion that I felt come over me, and then getting hugged by [my attorney] was probably the best feeling I've felt in the last year-and-half since this incident occurred." Officer Million's intense body-camera footage from the night of the shooting was released following the court hearing. It had not previously been released to the public. Singleton had been driving on Interstate 64 near the 295 split in eastern Henrico, back in November 2021, when he crashed and flipped his vehicle before police arrived, according to the Henrico Police Department. When witnesses stopped to help him, they testified he appeared drunk or on drugs, had a knife in his waistband, and wanted to drive back into traffic after the crash. When Officer Million and another officer arrived on the scene, the video showed Million yelling commands. The video also shows a 12-inch knife being thrown to the side while Singleton is placed in handcuffs and given medical attention. Henrico Commonwealth's Attorney Shannon Taylor argued Million's use of force was neither reasonable nor justified. She wanted jurors to decide if they felt the body camera footage and witness statements proved Singleton reached for his knife prompting Million to shoot. "If things are not clear cut and one side is saying the version is X, and the other side is saying the version is Y, that is clearly a matter for the fact finder to receive all the evidence and make their decision with respect to the law," Taylor said about the dispute over whether Singleton reached for his knife. Million's attorneys Peter Baruch and Edward Nickel argued deadly force was Million's "only choice" after Singleton failed to comply with his commands, and, according to their testimony, reached for a large knife in his waistband. Judge Ellis tossed the case before it went to a jury. He said the Commonwealth had not shown enough evidence to prove Million committed voluntary manslaughter. Million's family broke out into tears and prayers after the judge struck the case down, as Million hugged his lawyers. "The judge saw the evidence for what it was. The Commonwealth couldn't prove their case," Baruch said. The court heard testimony from two women who had stopped on I-64 to help after seeing Singleton's car flip multiple times on the interstate. The women said the driver — later identified as Singleton — appeared drunk or on drugs, had a knife in his waistband, and wanted to drive back into traffic after the crash. "I didn't want him to put anyone else's life in jeopardy," Barbara Rowe, one of the two women who tried to take the driver's keys out of the ignition, said. The second woman, Ashley Stallings, testified "I felt like he was a ticking time bomb," about the driver. Defense Attorney Nickel introduced a motion to strike the Commonwealth's case late Tuesday after the Commonwealth rested its case. Nickel argued the prosecutors had not established the shooting was the result of a "sudden heat of passion" or "during mutual combat," which he argued are necessary for a voluntary manslaughter charge. He said Singleton was intoxicated, failed to obey Million's commands, and moved his hands toward his waistband where he had a knife during a tussle with Million prior to the shooting. "This is a situation where Officer Million was protecting himself from deadly force," Nickel said. "There is no evidence that shows anything he did was wrong with regard to his training." The Henrico Police Department is still conducting its internal affairs investigation.
