Patrick Crusius a Shooter who killed 23 at Texas Walmart gets 90 life sentences
A federal judge on Friday sentenced a white supremacist to 90 consecutive life sentences for a 2019 shooting spree in which he killed 23 people at a Texas Walmart, targeting Hispanics, and 22 others were injured.
Patrick Crusius, 24, pleaded guilty earlier this year to nearly 50 federal hate crime charges in the 2019 mass shooting in El Paso, making it one of the U.S. government’s largest hate crime cases. Shooter who killed 23 at Texas Walmart gets 90 life sentences.
The sentence handed down by US District Judge David Guadarrama in El Paso follows a February plea agreement in which 24-year-old shooter Patrick Crusius pleaded guilty and agreed to serve 90 consecutive life sentences to avoid the federal death penalty.
The shooter still faces charges in the state of Texas that could result in the death penalty. His federal sentencing followed two days of emotional testimony from witnesses, some of the 22 injured survivors, as well as Reuters.
