Milam and forced Till into their car. After beating him, they drove him down to the Tallahatchie River where they made him carry a 75-pound cotton gin fan to the bank and then ordered him to take off his clothes.
The two men beat him nearly to death, gouged out his eye, shot him in the head, and then threw his body, tied to the cotton gin fan with barbed wire, into the river where his body was discovered three days later. They were acquitted of murder by a local, all-white jury but confessed to murdering Till a year later to a journalist at Look magazine.
