Payton Gendron is now facing numerous counts of federal hate crimes and weapons charges related to the May 14 deadly assault on a Tops grocery store in Buffalo, N.Y., the Justice Department announced on Wednesday.
Gendron is accused of killing 10 Black people, and wounding three other people — one Black person and two white people.
The federal complaint lists 26 criminal counts against Gendron, 18, including 10 counts of a hate crime resulting in death.
The complaint 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 gunman live-streamed his actions on the internet.
