TMZ reports that Mills, 29, shot a woman at a house in Kentucky on Tuesday 19 May before turning the gun on himself.
Police were apparently called to the house following claims that a woman had been shot. Upon arrival they found the woman with gunshot wounds to her arm and chest.
She told police that her shooter, whom she named as Mills, had turned the gun on himself inside the house.
The woman alleged that Mills had waited for her arrival at the home, having held her mother and daughter captive. Both were reportedly uninjured in the incident.
The injured woman remains in a stable condition in hospital.
Mills had lived in Hollywood for several years while maintaining a property in Kentucky, his mother told TMZ, and appeared in TV comedies including Baskets and Swedish Dicks.
His most recent acting credit was in the horror film Star Light, which was released in the US in February. He also appeared in films including Bonnie & Clyde: Justified and the Dolph Lundgren thriller A Certain Justice.
The Independent has reached out to Mills’ representative for comment.
