Public records show Crusius’ last known address was his family’s home in Allen, Texas (above), about 30 minutes outside of Dallas and more than 9 hours away from El Paso.

It is not clear if he has any connections to the El Paso area.


On his LinkedIn page in 2015, lead suspect Crusius wrote that he was not motivated to do anything other than 'enough to get by'. The page was taken down from the website shortly after Crusius was named as a suspect.

The page was taken down from the website shortly after Crusius was tentatively associated with the shooting.

Crusius is seen below in a photograph that was reportedly taken after his arrest in El Paso on Saturday.

Gunman has been identified as Patrick Crusius, 21 from Dallas.

At least 20 people have been killed and 26 others wounded in the deadliest mass shooting in the US this year, after a white gunman opened fire inside an El Paso Walmart on Saturday minutes after posting an 'anti-immigrant' manifesto online.

Crusius is allegedly the man seen in surveillance footage walking in through the front entrance of the Cielo Vista Mall Walmart with an AK-47 assault rifle.

The gunman, wearing what appears to be ear defenders and cargo pants, first opened fire in the parking lot outside the store, shooting and killing 'locals that were fundraising outside the Walmart selling water. Children and adults.'

He then walked through the front door in a calm and confident state, as if he was 'on a mission', a witness said.

The twenty-minute massacre that followed would go on to become the eighth deadliest in US history.

She claims she was 'almost split in half' by the force of her belt pulling her back, which left her with a torn abdominal wall (pictured in hospital).

Recalling her injury and her conversation with surgeons, she said: 'They described my abdominal wall being cut like a sword by the seat belt.

'Even though the seat belt did save my life, it caused many life-threatening injuries and tore my whole abdominal wall right in half.'



Miss Arnold needed 20 abdominal surgeries to repair some of the damages but it was more than a year before her tear was fixed (pictured, her scar)

A student has told how her seat belt cut through her stomach 'like a sword' after being involved in a horrific car accident.

Gina Arnold, of Michigan, lost control of her car causing the vehicle to flip seven times before hitting a tree in October 2017.

The 22-year-old, who doesn't remember the ordeal, was left in a coma and spent three months in hospital.

She considers herself lucky to still be alive, but isn't fully recovered.

Doctors have warned she won't ever be able to jump again.
