ORLANDO, Fla._The man suspected of gunning down two Kissimmee officers this month will undergo a competency evaluation before his first court hearing, the Orange-Osceola Circuit Court announced Tuesday via social media.
Everett Miller, 45, was arrested at Roscoe's Bar & Packaging in Kissimmee about two hours after prosecutors say he shot Officer Matthew Baxter and Sgt. Sam Howard Aug. 18.
Baxter died that night. Howard died in the hospital the next day.
Miller, a veteran who spent 21 years in the Marine Corps, had no criminal record in Florida before his arrest.
Records show, however, that he was involuntarily hospitalized under the state's Baker Act, after Miller stripped to his boxers and walked down an Osceola County street carrying a high-powered rifle, according to his family.
Miller's competency evaluation will be reviewed by a judge before his case goes forward.
