Jury selection opened on October 13, 2026 in the federal hate crimes trial of the white supremacist who killed 10 people at a Buffalo supermarket in 2022, with the death penalty among the possible sentences.
The shooting took place in Buffalo, in New York state. The Guardian described it as believed to be the deadliest attack in modern history to specifically target Black people.
ABC News and The Guardian both reported that the racially motivated attack forms the basis of the federal hate crimes charges the defendant now faces.
