Who is Patrick Crusius? Patrick Crusius is the individual responsible for the 2019 El Paso Walmart shooting. On August 3, 2019, he carried out a mass shooting at a Walmart in El Paso, Texas, killing 23 people and injuring 22 others. The attack was driven by far-right extremism, anti-immigration sentiments, and white supremacy beliefs.

Crusius posted a manifesto online shortly before the attack, citing the Christchurch mosque shootings and the Great Replacement conspiracy theory as inspirations. He was arrested and charged with capital murder and hate crimes. In February 2023, he pleaded guilty to 90 federal charges, including hate crimes resulting in death and the use of a firearm to commit murder. As a result, he was sentenced to 90 consecutive life sentences without the possibility of parole. It’s a tragic event that has had a lasting impact on the victims, their families, and the community.
