The man who is accused of killing at least 20 people and injuring 26 more in El Paso is now facing capital murder charges, according to court documents obtained by CNN.
Patrick Crusius appeared in El Paso Criminal Law Magistrate Court and is being held without bond. Crusius has lived in his Allen, TX home for two years and has been unemployed for five months, according to his application for appointment of counsel. He states that he has no income and lives with his grandparents.
About the suspect: Police say a racist, anti-immigrant document they believe was written by Crusius has a “nexus to a potential hate crime.” The four-page document posted online espouses white nationalist and racist views. It rails against immigrants and Hispanics, blaming immigrants and first-generation Americans for taking away jobs and for the blending of cultures in the US.
