Federal prosecutors are expected to provide an update in the legal case against a gunman who has admitted to killing 10 Black people in a racist shooting at a supermarket in Buffalo, New York. The Justice Department has called relatives of the victims to federal court Friday ahead of a previously scheduled status conference. The families have been waiting to hear whether prosecutors would seek the death penalty against 20-year-old Payton Gendron, who is awaiting trial on federal hate crimes and weapons charges. Gendron already is serving multiple life sentences with no chance of parole after pleading guilty to state charges of murder and domestic terrorism motivated by hate.
