Hollywood actor Hagen Mills is dead following an 'attempted murder-suicide' in his native Kentucky. 

The 29-year-old actor, who appeared in the hit FX series Baskets, reportedly tried to kill former partner Erica Price, 34, at a residence in Mayfield on Tuesday evening. 

Price was allegedly shot by Mills in both the arm and chest but managed to survive and call police. Mills subsequently turned the gun on himself and committed suicide. 

According to The West Kentucky Star, Price is the mother of Mill's four-year-old daughter, Mila.

The young girl was inside the home at the time, as was Price's mother. Neither were injured during the incident. 

Investigators claim Mills held the pair inside the home until Price returned. When she arrived at the residence at 5.45 pm he shot her multiple times. She was taken to hospital in a stable condition after contacting police. 

Records from Graves County Jail in Kentucky show Mills has an extensive rap sheet. 

On March 30 of this year, he was arrested and charged with first degree rape and sodomy, as well as kidnapping and possession of methamphetamine. 

He was released from prison on bond on Monday - a day before his death. 

According to Mills' mother, he maintained homes in both Hollywood and Kentucky.

Mills grew up in Kentucky, before he relocated to Los Angeles to pursue acting in the early 2010s. 

He was best known for appearing in the FX comedy-drama series, Baskets, created in 2016 by Zach Galifianakis and Louis CK. 

The hit show, which ran for four seasons, starred Galifianakis in a lead role playing a professional clown. 

Mills also starred in an episode of the TV comedy Swedish Dicks, and had a role in the 2013 telemovie Bonnie & Clyde: Justified.
