Payton Gendron, a 18-year-old man, had opened fire at a New York supermarket, gunning down 10 Black residents. He has been indicted on a state domestic terrorism and hate crime charge that would carry a mandatory sentence of life in prison Buffalo, N.Y.: The white man accused of killing 10 Black people in a racist attack on a Buffalo supermarket was indicted by a grand jury on 1 June, 2022, on a state domestic terrorism and hate crime charge that would carry a mandatory sentence of life in prison. The domestic terrorism charge — Domestic Acts of Terrorism Motivated by Hate in the First Degree — accuses Gendron of killing “because of the perceived race and/or color” of his victims. Andrew Cuomo proposed the domestic terrorism hate crime law in August 2019, in the wake of a mass shooting targeting Mexicans at a Walmart store in El Paso, Texas. The measure, dubbed the “Josef Neumann Hate Crimes Domestic Terrorism Act” after an attack at a rabbi’s home in Munsey, New York, was signed into law on 3 April, 2020, and took effect on 1 November, 2020.
