The gunman who killed 23 people and injured 22 others in a mass shooting at a Texas Walmart in 2019 has accepted a plea deal, avoiding the death penalty.
Patrick Crusius, 26, pleaded guilty to capital murder and 22 counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon on April 21 before Judge Sam Medrano of the 409th District. He was sentenced to life in prison with no possibility of parole for the attack, considered one of the deadliest in American history, in which he admitted that he was targeting Hispanics.
