Murders[change | change source]
He was arrested for the 2002 murder of 22-year-old Jeremiah Miller, who was one of Dozier's drug associates. On April 18, 2002, Miller met Dozier on the Las Vegas Strip. Dozier had promised to help Miller buy ephedrine. Miller had brought $12,000 in cash for that express purpose. Upon Miller's arrival at La Concha, Dozier killed him (likely by shooting), sawed Miller's body into multiple pieces, stuffed most of them into a suitcase, and disposed of it near an apartment complex in western Vegas.[1]
Dozier was also connected to the July 27, 2001, murder of Jasen Green in Arizona, whose remains were found in a plastic container in the desert north of Phoenix.
