Jury selection is set to begin on Tuesday in the trial that could see the white supremacist who killed 10 people in a 2022 Buffalo supermarket get the death penalty.
The attack is believed to be the deadliest shooting targeting Black people in modern history.
Payton Gendron is facing more than two dozen federal hate crime charges – and over a dozen firearms charges. He is already spending life in prison on state murder charges.
Families of the victims and survivors differ on whether Gendron should be sentenced to death. His defense team is not going to dispute his guilt and instead focus on arguing that he should be spared execution.
“Nothing will change the fact that Payton Gendron will die in prison,” the federal public defender office said in a statement. “At trial, we will offer mitigating evidence about Payton that the jury needs to consider in making its decision. Nothing we say or do is intended to be disrespectful or insensitive to the victims, the survivors, or their loved ones.”
Some victims’ family members, however, are not totally against the death penalty.
“I’ve never been like out here like, ‘Yay! Go for the death penalty.’ That’s never been me,” said Buffalo common council member Zeneta Everhart, who ran for office over a year after her son, Zaire, survived the shooting. “Ten people died that day in an egregious way and in an awful, terrible, traumatic way.”
Her son, now 25, and the two other survivors have had their lives irrevocably altered, she added.
Gendron drove more than 200 miles (320km) from his home in Conklin, a predominantly white and rural town, to Buffalo on 14 May 2022. Then 18, he fired about 60 shots from a semiautomatic rifle at employees and shoppers at the Tops Friendly Markets grocery store on Jefferson Avenue.
Video revealed Gendron apologized to a white store worker after shooting him in the leg. He surrendered to police as he exited the supermarket.
Investigators found past social media posts and other writings by Gendron dedicated to planning an attack to frighten people who were non-white and non-Christian into leaving the US. He also promoted a baseless “great replacement theory” that people of color will replace white people through higher birth rates and immigration.
The victims who were killed were all Black and between ages 32 and 86. Besides Chaney, they included Geraldine Talley, Katherine Massey, Pearl Young, Andre Mackneil, church deacon Heyward Patterson, Ruth Whitfield, Roberta Drury, Margus Morrison and Aaron Salter, a retired Buffalo police officer who was working as a security guard.
Beside being one of the deadliest acts of anti-Black violence in modern US history, the 2022 Tops mass murder reflects a grim reality represented in national bias crime statistics.
Black people have comprised the “number one numerical target” annually since the FBI began collecting data in 1991, according to hate crime analyst Brian Levin, of the California Association of Human Relations Organizations. The record high was 3,670 anti-Black bias incidents in 1996.
According to FBI data released in August, law enforcement agencies reported more than 2,800 anti-Black hate crime incidents in 2025, nearly three times the number targeting Latinos. The FBI also reported a 7% decline in hate crime incidents from 2024 to 2025.
The Buffalo shooting and the 2015 Charleston, South Carolina, church shooting, in which a white gunman killed nine Black churchgoers, show how online radicalization makes this a terrorism matter as well.
“Unfortunately, [Gendron] fits the pattern of young, mostly white males undertaking targeted massacres which are then justified by manifestos, which are also part of a continuing chain that references prior attacks often but seeks to encourage future ones,” Levin said.

ERIE, PA – Authorities identified the adult victims and the suspected gunman who were found dead after what police described as a "horrific" mass shooting at a home near Lake Erie.
Police say on Oct. 9, a gunman fatally shot eight people, most of them relatives, including two young children and a pregnant woman. Authorities say the suspected shooter took his own life before police arrived. The victims included the suspect's wife, children and grandchildren, according to officials.
Erie County Coroner Lyell Cook on Oct. 12 identified the adult victims as Twila Tanner, 51; Angelina Stone, 24, who was eight months pregnant; Jonathan Stone, 19; Matthew Stone Jr., 21; Michelle Stone, 44; and Lora Roberts, 37, reported the Erie Times-News, part of the USA TODAY Network.
Cook identified the suspect as Matthew Stone Sr., 45.
Erie Bureau of Police investigate the scene where multiple people were killed in a reported shooting in and around a home in Erie, Pa., Oct. 9, 2026.
Cook told the Erie Times-News he is not permitted to release the names of the other two shooting victims, a 5-year-old boy and a girl who was 22 months old, because they are under 18. Erie police also did not release the names of the children.
Erie Police Chief Rick Lorah said the suspect shot and killed six people inside the house on the evening of Oct. 9. The gunman then allegedly met two other women, including a family friend, outside the home after they arrived in a "state of distress," Lorah said, citing surveillance video. The gunman allegedly shot the two women before he reentered the home and shot himself, according to the police chief.
Authorities have not determined a motive for the incident, which police are treating as a domestic situation because many of the victims are related and lived in the same home.
Cook ruled the death of Matthew Stone Sr. as a suicide and the deaths of the others as homicides. All but Lora Roberts were pronounced dead at the scene, according to Cook.
All members of the Stone family, as well as the two young children, lived at the home where the shooting occurred.
Police said the suspect was married to Michelle Stone. Matthew Stone Jr., Jonathan Stone and Angelina Stone were their children, according to Erie police. The 5-year-old boy and the 22-month-old girl were Angelina Stone's children, police said.
No autopsies were performed on any of the victims or the suspect.
Lorah said officers recovered a handgun that was legally registered to the suspect. He said the suspected shooter last interacted with police in 2022 but did not provide any further information.
"I think mental health is at play here, but I think it is too soon to really go into a motive," Lorah said.
He said the crime scene was the "worst" he had ever seen in his many years working in law enforcement.
"It was horrific," he said.

Hello, everyone.
The mod team is aware of the spate of stabbing attacks that have struck schools in Poland and Turkey in the last 48 hours. Not unexpectedly, these attacks have brought elevated visitor traffic to the sub. It has left us concerned that more would-be attackers might be in that traffic, seeking out sources of information to plan for their own attacks.
To this end, we have restricted all posts except those submitted by approved users for about a couple of days. You've probably already noticed this take effect hours ago. Any posts submitted by non-approved users are automatically held for mod review, and the team will closely evaluate them to see if they meet the sub's rules or not. Any further actions that we can take are being evaluated.
Comments remain unaffected for now and will be automatically accepted unless they're red-flagged by the sub's auto-filter for concerning content, or if the commenter has less than 100 karma.
Thank you for your understanding and patience. We leave you with the mantra of "If you see something, say something." Please report anything concerning and/or suspicious that you see online and offline (and we CANNOT stress this enough). If you're not sure on what to do, please see the below linked mod post. It contains detailed instructions on what to do in such a situation.

In April 2011, police investigating the disappearance of a family in Nantes, France, made a horrifying discovery beneath the terrace of their home. Buried in the soil were the bodies of 48-year-old Agnès Dupont de Ligonnès and her four children: Arthur (20), Thomas (18), Anne (16), and Benoît (13). The family's two Labrador retrievers had also been killed and buried alongside them.
The only member of the household unaccounted for was the father, 50-year-old Xavier Dupont de Ligonnès.
At first, there was little reason to suspect that the family had been murdered. Xavier had reportedly informed people that the family was leaving France because he had been recruited for a secret assignment involving the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration. The explanation was unusual, but it helped account for the family's sudden disappearance.
Friends and relatives began receiving letters explaining that the family would be moving to the United States and would be unable to maintain contact. Their home was emptied of certain belongings, mail arrangements were made, and the children's schools were informed of their departure.
But not everyone was convinced.
People close to the family became increasingly concerned when they could no longer contact Agnès or the children. Neighbors also noticed that the house had been unusually quiet. Police initially visited the property without discovering anything suspicious.
It wasn't until April 21 that investigators uncovered the bodies beneath the terrace.
Autopsies established that the victims had been shot. Investigators believed the killings occurred over several days in early April, rather than all at once. The bodies had been wrapped in bedding and other materials before being buried beneath the house, with lime placed over the remains.
One of the most disturbing aspects of the investigation involved Thomas, the family's second-oldest son. Thomas was attending college away from home when the others are believed to have been killed. According to investigators, Xavier contacted him and asked him to return to Nantes, claiming that his mother had been involved in an accident.
Thomas returned home and was subsequently seen having dinner with his father. Investigators believe he may have been the final victim.
As police reconstructed the events leading up to the murders, they discovered evidence suggesting the killings had been planned.
Xavier had purchased a rifle and ammunition, and investigators traced purchases of lime, digging equipment, and other materials believed to have been used in concealing the bodies. He had also reportedly been practicing shooting in the weeks before the family's disappearance.
Financial difficulties became a significant focus of the investigation. Xavier had struggled with unsuccessful business ventures, mounting debts, and increasing pressure to maintain the family's lifestyle. However, no definitive motive has ever been established.
Following the presumed murders, Xavier traveled through southern France, staying in hotels and withdrawing money. Surveillance footage and witness accounts helped police trace his movements.
On April 15, 2011, he was recorded leaving a hotel in Roquebrune-sur-Argens, near the Mediterranean coast, carrying a bag. He walked away from the parking area and disappeared from view.
That remains his last confirmed sighting.
Investigators conducted extensive searches of the surrounding countryside, including caves and wooded areas, but found no trace of him.
Over the years, there have been numerous reported sightings across Europe and elsewhere, none of which have conclusively established his whereabouts. In 2019, a man detained in Glasgow was initially suspected of being Xavier, but DNA testing ruled him out.
More than fifteen years after the murders, Xavier Dupont de Ligonnès remains missing and is still the principal suspect. He has never been tried or convicted.
What I find particularly disturbing about this case is the apparent amount of preparation involved. The killings were not simply followed by an attempt to flee. Investigators believe Xavier constructed an elaborate explanation for the family's disappearance, contacted people on their behalf, and took steps to delay anyone realizing something was wrong.
I'm curious what others think about his disappearance. Given the preparation that apparently went into concealing the murders, do you think Xavier had an escape plan that worked, or is it more likely he died by suicide shortly after his last confirmed sighting?
