El Paso Walmart Gunman Receives 90 Consecutive Life Sentences for Targeting Latinos

The gunman responsible for the 2019 mass shooting at a Walmart store in El Paso, Texas, has been sentenced to 90 consecutive life terms for federal hate crimes charges. Patrick Crusius, a self-described white nationalist, pleaded guilty to the charges and still faces a state murder trial later this year, where Texas prosecutors will seek the death penalty. The sentencing follows an emotional hearing where relatives of the victims confronted the gunman, expressing their grief and anger. The attack, one of the deadliest on Latinos in U.S. history, left 23 people dead and 22 injured.
