Hollywood actor Hagen Mills is dead following an ‘attempted murder-suicide’ in his native Kentucky.
The 29-year-old actor, who appeared in the hit FX series Baskets, reportedly tried to kill former partner Erica Price, 34, at a residence in Mayfield on Tuesday evening.
Price was allegedly shot by Mills in both the arm and chest but managed to survive and call police. Mills subsequently turned the gun on himself and committed suicide.
According to The West Kentucky Star, Price is the mother of Mill’s four-year-old daughter, Mila.
The young girl was inside the home at the time, as was Price’s mother. Neither were injured during the incident.
Investigators claim Mills held the pair inside the home until Price arrived at 5.45 pm. After she walked through the front door, he shot her multiple times. She was taken to hospital in a stable condition after contacting police.
Records from Graves County Jail in Kentucky show Mills has an extensive rap sheet.
On March 30 of this year, he was arrested and charged with first degree rape and sodomy, as well as kidnapping and possession of methamphetamine.
He was bonded out of prison on Monday – just a day before his death.
According to Mills’ mother, he maintained homes in both Hollywood and Kentucky.

Mills grew up in Kentucky, before he relocated to Los Angeles to pursue acting in the early 2010s.
He was best known for appearing in the FX comedy-drama series, Baskets, created in 2016 by Zach Galifianakis and Louis CK.
The Emmy-winning show ran for four seasons and starred Galifianakis the lead role.
Mills also starred in an episode of the TV comedy Swedish Dicks, and had a role in the 2013 telemovie Bonnie & Clyde: Justified.
The actor’s last listed role is the upcoming indie horror film, Star Light, set for release in August.
Despite burgeoning fame and photos of domestic bliss, Mills was having trouble with the law in Kentucky. He had been arrested at least four times since 2016. Mills and Price are pictured with their daughter in a 2017 snap

Despite his success in Hollywood, Mills frequently returned home to Kentucky, where Price resided.
The couple began dating in 2012, and welcomed their daughter in 2016. It’s unclear when the pair split.
However, during his time back in Mayfield, Mills was arrested on multiple occasions.
Records from the Graves County Jail website show he was arrested for a DUI in 2016, wanton endangerment in 2017, and second degree assault in 2018.
He was also arrested for public intoxication in 2009, prior to his move to Tinseltown.
