A young white nationalist who shot and killed 23 people at a supermarket in the majority-Hispanic Texas city of El Paso in 2019 was sentenced to 90 consecutive life terms in prison on Friday.
Patrick Crusius, 24, pleaded guilty in February to federal hate crimes charges in connection with the August 3, 2019 mass shooting at an El Paso Walmart.
“No one in this country should have to live in fear of hate-fueled violence – that they will be targeted because of what they look like or where they are from,” US Attorney General Merrick Garland said in a statement.
