Martin King Luther Jr. was fatally shot. The logic behind why the killer thought this was prudent is not comprehensible.

Martin Luther King, Jr. was prominent in the Civil Rights Movement. He constantly received death threats due to his prominence. Even MLK stated that he would be assasinated but he also said that murder could not stop the struggle for equal rights.
