Michael Dewayne Miller Sr., a 63-year-old man, was killed on November 12, 2021, in Tulsa, Oklahoma. His life was cut short following a dispute at his residence, the Country Club Gardens Apartments, a senior living community. Miller, born on March 31, 1958, was a lifelong Tulsa resident who graduated from Booker T. Washington High School. He had a deep passion for martial arts, a discipline he dedicated himself to from an early age, eventually earning a Third Degree Black Belt in Taekwondo and
becoming an expert instructor. For several years, he was a hardworking employee of the ASPLUND Tree Company.
The events that led to Michael Miller's death unfolded from an altercation with a fellow resident. An argument between Miller and another man escalated tragically. In the ensuing confrontation, Miller was fatally shot. The peaceful environment of the senior living center was shattered by this act of violence, leaving the community in shock. The incident drew considerable attention due to its nature and location.
Following the shooting, the Tulsa Police Department was called to the scene. The suspect, identified as 70-year-old Charles Frank, had retreated to his own room within the apartment complex after the incident. Law enforcement was able to take Frank into custody without any further conflict. He was subsequently arrested and charged with the murder of Michael Dewayne Miller Sr. The investigation into the shooting pointed to the dispute between the two men as the catalyst for the fatal encounter. The legal proceedings against Charles Frank are ongoing as authorities continue to build their case to bring about justice for Miller's untimely death.
