Anti-Hispanic gunman kills 23 people at El Paso Walmart

A gunman attacks a Walmart in El Paso, Texas, on August 3, 2019, killing 23 people and injuring many others. Federal prosecutors say he targeted Hispanic people and drove to El Paso because of its large Latino population.\n\nThe shooter later pleads guilty to federal hate-crime and firearms charges. The Justice Department describes the attack as racially motivated mass violence and domestic terrorism.\n\nThe massacre is a central recent event in anti-Latino racism because it shows how white-nationalist replacement rhetoric can become targeted violence against Hispanic communities.
