A gunman from Texas, who killed 23 people in a 2019 attack, who target the Hispanic shopkeepers in an El Paso Walmart, ready to be guilty for murder charges, finally allows the case to come closer.
The 26-year-old Patrick Crucius is expected to be guilty for the capital murder on Monday and there is no possibility of parole for racist mass shoots near the US-Maxico border on August 3, 2019. El Paso County District Attorney James Montoya, a Democrat said that he had said that he was giving a argument to Crucius.
Crusius was sentenced to 90 consecutive lives in the federal court after being convicted for allegations of crime and weapons in 2023. Federal prosecutors also sentenced to death from the table under the Biden administration.
The gunman is expected to give his time in the state of Texas. Crucius was initially arrested by local authorities and if he sentenced to the state charges according to the federal bureau, the Criminal Justice Department of Texas will be transferred.

Crucius was 21 years old when officials say he went to El Paso for more than 10 hours from his house in suburban Dallas and set fire to Walmart.
The prosecutors have said that Crusius was wearing earmf to mute the sounds of bullets when they started firing their AK-style rifle in the store’s parking. He then went inside the store and continued firing, cornering shopkeepers in a bank near the entrance, where nine were killed, before firing on those who were in the checkout area and in the corridor.
As he got out of the store, he shot in a passing car, killing an elderly man and injuring his wife.
After some time Crucius was taken into custody and the authorities were confessed for shooting.
In a posting for an online message board before shooting, Crusius, which is white, said the massacre “was in response to Texas’s Hispanic invasion.” He also claimed that Hispuns were going to handle the government and the economy.

His social media posts included rhetoric about the national immigration debate. He expressed support to deal with immigration for the policies of President Donald Trump, including the President’s plan to construct a wall on the southern border. The Republican President was in his first term at that time.
After the shooting, Crusius told the authorities that he was targeting Mexican.
Those killed in the shooting were up to the age of 15 to grandparents. The victims included immigrants and Mexican citizens who crossed the US border on regular shopping trips.
“Rachism is something I always wanted to think that he was not present. Obviously, it does,” Jessica Coca Garcia, who faced foot wounds, but recovered, said in a speech across the road from the county jail, where Crucius was being held a week after shooting. Her husband died in the incident.
The Attorney that the Spencer, which represents Crusius, described Crusius as “a person with a broken brain” on Thursday. Spencer said Crousius had discovered a schizophical disorder, which could include hallucinations, confusion and mood.

Montya said that he offered the petition deal as relatives of most of the victims were eager to conclude the matter, although they admitted that not all families agreed. He said that he supports the death penalty and believes that Crusius is entitled to it, but the case would not have gone for testing by 2028 if his office would have continued to chase the death sentence.
When he took over in January, Montya became the fourth district attorney to oversee the case in about six years. One of his predecessors pressured the handling of the case in 2022. Montya said that the Kovid -19 epidemic also caused a delay in wrapping the case.
Stephanie Mendease, whose father David Johnson died of his wife and granddaughter, said that she initially wanted to get Crusius’s death sentence, later later wanted to end the case the case later as it continued.
“I just wanted it to end,” said Mendege. “I was giving relief everything. I was going to court for hours. I was done with the briefing that happened after that and it was just the same thing again and again. We were just ready to be with it, because, honestly, it is like giving relief to trauma again and again.”
