Frazier Glenn Miller Jr. (November 23, 1940 – May 3, 2021), commonly known as Glenn Miller or Frazier Glenn Cross,[2] was an American domestic terrorist,[3] murderer, and leader of the defunct North Carolina-based White Patriot Party (formerly known as the Carolina Knights of the Ku Klux Klan) who was the perpetrator of the Overland Park Jewish Community Center shooting. Convicted of murder as well as criminal charges related to weapons, and the violation of an injunction against paramilitary activity, Miller was a perennial candidate for public office.[4] He was an advocate of white nationalism, white separatism, Odinism,[5] and antisemitism.[6]

On April 13, 2014, Miller was arrested following the shooting in Overland Park, Kansas.[7] Johnson County prosecutors initially charged him with one count of capital murder and one count of first-degree murder.[8] On October 17, 2014, the separate charge for first-degree murder was dismissed and all three deaths were included in a single capital murder count. Miller was also charged with three counts of attempted first-degree murder for allegedly shooting at three other people. On December 18, 2014, he was found competent to stand trial, and prosecutors announced that they would seek a death sentence against him.[9]
On August 31, 2015, Miller was found guilty in the Overland Park shooting of one count of capital murder, three counts of attempted murder and assault and weapons charges.[10] Eight days later, the same jury recommended that Miller be executed.[11] On November 10, 2015, he was formally sentenced to death. Miller died on death row on May 3, 2021.
