Man Who Fatally Shot 3 at Kansas Jewish Sites Dies in Prison
An avowed antisemite who testified that he wanted to kill Jews and was sentenced to death after he shot and killed three people at Jewish sites in suburban Kansas City in 2014 has died in prison, the Kansas Department of Corrections said Tuesday.
Frazier Glenn Miller Jr., 80, died Monday at the El Dorado Correctional Facility, where he was serving a sentence for capital murder, attempted murder, assault and firearms convictions.
An autopsy will be performed to determine a cause of death, but preliminary indications were that Miller died of natural causes, Carol Pitts, a spokeswoman for the corrections department, said in a news release. She declined to comment further on Miller’s death or medical condition.

Star that he believed he was dying at the time of his crimes and “I wanted to make damned sure I killed some Jews or attacked the Jews before I died.”
He said he had cased the Jewish sites before his attack “for the specific purpose of killing Jews.”
He also expressed pride in the psychological trauma he had inflicted on the Jewish community, saying, “Because of what I did, Jews feel less secure. Every Jew in the world knows my name now and what I did.”
Miller did express regret for killing Underwood, because Underwood was a “white boy” who was not Jewish. None of Miller’s victims were Jewish, which he said surprised him. “I was convinced there would be all Jews or mostly Jews,” he said.
