Paul Jamrowski, father of Jordan Anchondo and father in-law of Andre Anchondo, who both died in the El Paso Walmart mass shooting, breaks down in tears while speaking to the media outside the federal court in El Paso, Texas, Wednesday, July 5, 2023

A WHITE Texas gunman who killed 23 people in a racist attack at a Walmart store in 2019 is expected to learn his punishment tonight.

In the run-up to the sentencing, relatives of the victims berated Patrick Crusius for days over the shooting that targeted Hispanic shoppers on the US-Mexican border.

Mr Crusius looks set to receive multiple life terms in federal prison for committing one of the deadliest mass shootings in the country’s history.
