Patrick Crusius, the extremist whose racial hatred triggered the infamous El Paso Walmart shooting, has been consigned to a lifetime behind bars.
The 24-year-old, who pled guilty to 90 federal charges linked to the 2019 massacre that killed 23 innocent people and left dozens wounded, was handed 90 consecutive life sentences on Friday.
The El Paso community, which bore the brunt of this act of terror, along with residents from Juárez and Germany, lost loved ones in the malevolent onslaught.
