James Earl Ray assassinated Dr. King.
The reason his did that was never clearly established. Some believe it was because he didn't like what Dr. King was doing, because he was a racist, because he was paid to do it, or some combnation of those reasons.
He was born Michael Luois King, Jr. His father changed the names in 1935 to Martin Luther in honor of the German Protestant reformer.

One is 'Luther' the other is 'King', and one lived in the 1500s, and the other from 1928 (in utero) to April 4, 1968. One was German and the other American. One was white and the other black. They are in no way related if I haven't made it clear enough. Martin Luther King Jr's father, Martin Luther King, was named after Martin Luther.
