The El Paso Times reports:
The white supremacist who fatally shot 23 people at an El Paso Walmart will remain behind bars for the rest of his life after being sentenced to 90 consecutive life sentences.
Patrick Crusius, 24, was sentenced Friday morning to life in prison on each of 90 federal charges he pleaded guilty to earlier this year in connection with the Aug. 3, 2019, mass shooting that killed 23 people and injured dozens more at an East El Paso Walmart.
The life sentences, which will be served consecutively, were handed down by Senior U.S. District Judge David C. Guaderrama, ending a three-day emotion-filled sentencing hearing that began Wednesday, July 5, at the Albert Armendariz Sr. Federal Courthouse in Downtown El Paso.

Before the shooting, Crusius had “liked” a photo on Twitter that spelled out Trump’s name in guns.
