The 21-year-old white man accused of gunning down 22 people and wounded dozens of others at a Texas Walmart was formally indicted on a capital murder charge Thursday.
A grand jury in El Paso County indicted Patrick Crusius in connection with the mass shooting at the Cielo Vista Walmart on Aug. 3, according to a statement from the El Paso District Attorney's Office.
District Attorney Jaime Esparza said on Aug. 4 that he planned to seek the death penalty.
The suspect surrendered to law enforcement as he was driving away from the bloodbath, saying, "I'm the shooter."
