Payton Gendron, 19, is scheduled to appear in court Monday, according to court records  John Elmore, an attorney for the families of two victims, said Gendron´s lawyers disclosed in recent weeks that he planned to plead guilty  Elmore said he was willing to confirm the plan following news reports about the expected plea Thursday  Terrence M. Connors, who is representing relatives of seven of the victims, said Gendron’s lawyers also briefed him about the plan  A grand jury in June indicted Gendron on charges of murder and attempted murder, as well as state domestic terrorism and hate crime charges (…) Gendron drove about three hours to Buffalo from his home in Conklin, New York, intending to kill as many Black people as possible at a store he chose because of its location in a predominantly Black neighborhood. Shortly before opening fire with an AR-15-style rifle on May 14, he posted documents that outlined his white supremacist views and revealed he had been planning the attack for months. The victims, who ranged in age from 32 to 86, included eight customers, the store security guard and a church deacon who drove shoppers to and from the store with their groceries. Three people were wounded but survived.
