Nikolas Jacob Cruz (Born: September 24, 1998), is a YouTube commentator responsible for the Parkland High School Shooting, the fourth deadliest school shooting in the United States, which killed 17 people, and sits before the Uvalde School Shooting that killed 21 people.

Cruz had been known for behavioural problems since preschool, and as a teenager on social media, he shared his obsessions with mass shootings and expressed racist, antisemitic, xenophobic, and homophobic views. He was a member of the Junior Reserve Officers' Training Corps. He legally purchased various firearms before the shooting.

Before the attack, Cruz would often make comments on YouTube like "Im going to be a professional school shooter." or "I wanna die Fighting killing shit ton of people", and threats against police officers. The person who uploaded the video to YouTube reported the comment to the FBI. According to agent Robert Lasky, the agency conducted database reviews but was unable to track down the individual who made the threatening comment. He was also accused of participating in a bigoted Instagram group.

Trivia

• He was born to Brenda Norma Woodard (June 25, 1956 – August 23, 2021) on September 24, 1998, in Margate, Florida. His biological father's identity is unknown. Nikolas was placed in an orphanage after his birth and was adopted by Roger (1937-August 11, 2004) and Lynda Cruz (1949-November 1, 2017), both of whom died before he finished high school. He was fully orphaned three months before the shooting. Since his adoptive mother's death, he had been living with relatives and friends.<ref>https://www.sun-sentinel.com/2018/02/14/nikolas-cruz-troubled-suspect-had-been-expelled-from-marjory-stoneman-douglas-high-school/</ref>
• He was a member of the Junior Reserve Officers' Training Corps. He had received multiple awards, including academic achievement for "maintaining an A grade in JROTC and Bs in other subjects, according to CNN. He was also a member of his school's varsity air rifle team.

• On March 7, 2018, a grand jury indicted Cruz on a total of 34 charges: 17 counts of first-degree murder and 17 counts of attempted first-degree murder. He was originally supposed to get the death penalty, but he declined to enter a plea, so Scherer entered "not guilty" on his behalf. The defence had earlier offered a guilty plea if the death penalty was taken off the table, and reiterated it immediately before it was refused, which prolonged the trial and eventually caused his date of execution to be cancelled.<ref>https://www.miamiherald.com/news/local/community/broward/article201684874.html</ref>
