Buffalo Mass Shooting

Federal prosecutors will seek the death penalty for the man who killed ten people in a racist attack on a Buffalo, N.Y., supermarket in May, 2022.

The lawsuit filed in the New York Supreme Court argues that several companies, along with the shooter's parents, played roles in the 2022 shooting that killed 10 Black people and injured three others.

On May 14, 2022, a white supremacist attacked the Jefferson Street Tops supermarket in East Buffalo, a predominantly Black neighborhood, killing 10 people and injuring three.

The new initiative is a broader effort by the Justice Department that it plans to launch across all 94 United States attorneys' offices over the next year.

The white gunman charged with killing 10 Black people in a racist mass shooting was arraigned Monday on federal hate crime charges that could be punishable by the death penalty.
