'''Dylann Roof''' (born April 3, 1994-) is a white supremacist terrorist who was convicted of murdering nine members of the Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church on June 17, 2015.<ref>[https://www.blackpast.org/african-american-history/charleston-church-massacre-2015/ The Charleston Church Massacre (2015)], ''Blackpast''</ref> Of those killed were Clementa C. Pinckney, who was a senior pastor as well as the state senator of South Carolina. Roof shot another individual at the church, but that would-be victim survived. He later stated that his goal was to incite a race war.<ref>[https://www.nytimes.com/2017/01/05/us/no-regrets-from-dylann-roof-in-jailhouse-manifesto.html No Regrets From Dylann Roof in Jailhouse Manifesto], ''The New York Times''</ref>

Roof was charged with nine counts of [[murder]], and the then-governor of South Carolina, Nikki Haley, tried to push for his execution. On December 15, 2016, Roof was found guilty of all 33 federal [[hate crime]] charges against him and was later sentenced to death on January 10, 2017.<ref>[https://www.cnn.com/2017/01/11/us/dylann-roof-sentencing/index.html Victim's dad warns Dylann Roof: 'Your creator ... he's coming for you'], ''CNN''</ref> On March 31, 2017, Roof agreed to plead guilty in state court and escaped death sentence and was instead sentenced to life imprisonment without parole.<ref>[https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2017/apr/10/charleston-church-shooter-dylann-roof-pleads-guilty-murder-charges Charleston church shooter Dylann Roof pleads guilty to state murder charges], ''The Guardian''</ref> He is currently sitting on death row at the United States Penitentiary in Terra Haute, Indiana.<ref>[https://www.nbcnews.com/storyline/charleston-church-shooting/charleston-shooter-dylann-roof-moved-death-row-terre-haute-federal-n749671 Charleston Shooter Dylann Roof Moved to Death Row in Terre Haute Federal Prison], ''NBC News''</ref>
