Newly released video shows interrogation of Patrick Crusius

EL PASO, Texas (KVIA) - Surveillance footage from the Cielo Vista Walmart shows the events that occurred on August 3, 2019.

It depicts how Patrick Crusius entered the store an hour and a half before the shooting rampage and walked around the aisles. At one point he is seen in the produce area looking at fruit. Then checking out a bag of oranges.

Video also shows him helping a woman reaching an object off a shelf. The woman walked up to Crusius and said somthing, then Crusius shrugged, and then the woman motioned as if she needed help reaching something.

Several camera angles follow Crusius as he leaves the store and goes to his car in the parking lot.

Later he is seen exiting the car and going towards the trunk. He picks up his rifle and ammunition and then starts walking back towards the store.

The video of the interrogation shows El Paso Police asking Crusius about the events leading to the shooting and the actual shooting.

Investigators said, "did you have an intention of shooting a particular group of people? What I mean is white, Mexicans..." Crusius: "Yeah." The investigators go on to say, "Blacks or anything like that." Crusius answered back, "Yes. I was bullied by Mexicans." Investigators asked, "So you were what, you were bullied by Mexicans. So your intent was to shoot Mexicans?" Crusius answered back, "Yeah. I mean, yeah."

Crusius told investigators he chose El Paso because it was far away from any family members.

"I don't want to do it anywhere near Dallas because it's like I don't want to traumatize my parents," said Crusius.

When he got to El Paso he says he was hungry so he looked for a Walmart.  The Cielo Vista Walmart was the first Walmart that popped up on an internet search."

"It just popped up on Google Maps," Crusius told investigators.

This is the first time these videos have been made public.
