(Reuters) -Survivors of a 2019 massacre at a Texas Walmart that killed 23 people and wounded 22 others addressed the white nationalist shooter directly at a sentencing hearing on Wednesday, including one young victim who reportedly told him, "I want you dead." The sentencing hearing before U.S. District Judge David Guaderrama in El Paso could last several days given that every witness, wounded survivor and relative of the dead will be afforded the chance to offer an impact statement. The shooter, Patrick Crusius, 24, who admitted to targeting Hispanics, will also be allowed to address the court.
For a second day in a row, survivors and relatives of victims of the August 2019 Walmart massacre in El Paso, Texas, will come face-to-face with the man being sentenced for fatally shooting 23 people and wounding 22 others.
The defendant in the Club Q shooting, 23-year-old Anderson Lee Aldrich, pleaded guilty to five counts of murder and has been sentenced to five consecutive life sentences.
Darrell Brooks, the suspect in the Waukesha Christmas Parade incident that resulted in six deaths and dozens of injuries, was sentenced to six consecutive life sentences and 700 additional years of imprisonment.
