He is already serving 11 life sentences with no parole — so why is a brand-new jury being picked in Buffalo today? Because the federal case asks the one question New York never could: life, or death.On May 14, 2022, ten people were killed at the Tops Friendly Markets on Jefferson Avenue in Buffalo, New York — Celestine Chaney, Roberta Drury, Andre Mackneil, Katherine Massey, Margus Morrison, Heyward Patterson, Aaron Salter, Geraldine Talley, Ruth Whitfield, and Pearl Young. Payton Gendron pleaded guilty in state court and will never walk free. Today, October 13, 2026, jury selection begins in his federal hate-crimes trial — 27 counts, the death penalty on the table, 1,000+ juror questionnaires, and a decision expected early next year.

Just the record — and the ten names that matter.🔔 A new YS Crime episode drops every single day — SUBSCRIBE and turn on notifications.🎧 Can't watch?
