The gunman who killed 23 people and injured 22 others in a 2019 mass shooting aimed at Latinos at a Texas Walmart pleaded guilty to murder on Monday and was sentenced to life in prison without possibility of parole, prosecutors said.
At the hearing on Monday, El Paso's District Attorney James Montoya read the names of each of the 23 people killed in the attack, as well as the 22 wounded, local media reported.
Montoya told reporters last month that he would no longer seek the death penalty if Patrick Crusius, 26, pleaded guilty.
