November 23, 1940 - Frazier Glenn Miller, Jr.

Miller spent decades building and leading white supremacist organizations before his ideology culminated in lethal violence — the 2014 shooting at the Overland Park Jewish Community Center, which killed three people. His trajectory from Klan leadership to domestic terrorism illustrated how extremist networks can sustain and radicalize individuals over long periods. He was convicted and sentenced to death.

From Wikipedia

Frazier Glenn Miller Jr. (November 23, 1940 – May 3, 2021), commonly known as Glenn Miller or Frazier Glenn Cross, was an American 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. He was an advocate of white nationalism, white separatism, Odinism, and antisemitism.

On April 13, 2014, Miller was arrested following the shooting in Overland Park, Kansas. Johnson County prosecutors initially charged him with one count of capital murder and one count of first-degree murder. 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.
