MEXICO CITY - President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador said Friday that Mexico does not want the El Paso shooter who killed 22 people - targeting Mexicans - to be executed, and will seek to extradite him from the United States.
Lopez Obrador, an anti-establishment leftist, said that while Mexico condemns Crusius's"reprehensible, abominable" crimes, it does not want to see him put to death. "I have given instructions to explore the possibility of requesting this person's extradition," he added. Crusius published an online manifesto before the August 3 shooting in which he vowed to fight a"Hispanic invasion" of the US. When he later confessed to the killings, he told police he had been targeting"Mexicans."
