On the morning of July 6, 2023, a nurse taking a work break near an employee parking lot at HCA Fort Walton Beach – Destin Hospital on Mar Walt Drive when she was allegedly ‘blitz-attacked’ by a man with a tire iron.

The Okaloosa County Sheriff’s Office has charged 27-year old Raul Milla Jr. of Anderson Drive in Fort Walton Beach with attempted felony murder.

The nurse was able to fight off Milla, but not before being struck five or six times in the head, causing severe lacerations and swelling. The OCSO says the incident took place around 3 a.m.

The victim was able to give OCSO deputies a good description of her attacker and deputies located him riding a bicycle nearby.

A bloody tire iron was in the bicycle basket and Milla’s shirt had a fresh blood stain on the front, according to the report from OCSO.
