The vehicle involved in the crash drove off, according to the Kalamazoo Department of Public Safety.
For weeks detectives worked leads in the case, eventually teaming up with the U.S. Marshals Service to track Mills down in Hawood County, Tennessee. On Tuesday, Mills waived his extradition hearing, meaning he'll be transported back to Michigan to face criminal charges.
The 29-year-old is charged with second-degree murder and failure to stop at the scene of an accident causing death.
If convicted, he could be sentenced to life in prison.
