If you have some interest in reading Payton Gendron's indictment or racist manifesto, you can read it hereThe Criminal Complaint alleges that on May 14, 2022, at approximately 2:30 p.m., Gendron, a white male, committed a mass shooting attack targeting Black people at Tops Friendly Market at 1275 Jefferson Avenue in Buffalo, New York. The mass shooting, which Gendron live-streamed on the Internet, resulted in the deaths of 10 Black people, and injuries to one Black person and two Caucasian people. The Complaint further alleges that Gendron’s motive for the mass shooting was to prevent Black people from replacing white people and eliminating the white race, and to inspire others to commit similar attacks. The Criminal Complaint charged Gendron with 10 counts of committing a hate crime resulting in death; 3 counts of committing a hate crime involving an attempt to kill; 10 counts of using a firearm to commit murder during and in relation to a crime of violence; and 3 counts of using and discharging a firearm during and in relation to a crime of violence.
