El Paso Walmart shooter agrees to pay more than $5.5 million in restitution in federal case
The gunman who killed 23 people and wounded 22 others at an El Paso Walmart in one of the deadliest attacks targeting Latinos in modern US history has agreed to pay more than $5.5 million in restitution to those impacted by the shooting.
Patrick Crusius, who pleaded guilty to federal charges in the attack, reached an agreement with prosecutors to pay $5,557,005.55 to claimants in the federal case, according to new court filings. The document identifying the claimants was sealed.
Federal Judge David Guaderrama approved the agreement. CNN has reached out to the US Attorney’s office in the Western District of Texas.
An attorney for Crusius declined to comment, citing a state gag order and federal protective order that limits what he can comment on.
