He reportedly told an investigator he gave the gun he used to an undisclosed person to get rid of it and that he does not know where the weapon is.

Milan is charged with attempted first-degree murder, felony reckless endangerment, and tampering with evidence.

He is being held in lieu of $200,000 bond.
