EL PASO — Patrick Wood Crusius is scheduled to be sentenced to life in prison in federal court in the coming days, nearly four years after he drove from a Dallas suburb to El Paso and opened fire at a busy Walmart — where he said he “wanted to shoot as many Mexicans as possible” — killing 23 people.
The 24-year-old Allen resident has been in custody since the Aug. 3, 2019, shooting and pleaded guilty earlier this year. As part of a plea agreement, he is expected to be sentenced to 90 consecutive life sentences after the U.S. Department of Justice decided not to seek the death penalty.
