Buffalo shooter who wished ‘Jews to hell’ may receive death sentence
The US Department of Justice is seeking the death sentence against the Buffalo supermarket shooter Payton Gendron, ABC News reported on Friday after seeing the court filing.
The "United States believes the circumstances in Counts 11-20 of the Indictment are such that, in the event of a conviction, a sentence of death is justified," the documents read.
The 19-year-old white supremacist plead guilty to 15 charges, including domestic terrorism motivated by hate, murder, and attempted murder after conducting a racially-motivated shooting at a supermarket chain in May of 2022. He is currently serving a life sentence without the possibility of parole.
