When 18-year-old Payton Gendron allegedly opened fire in Tops Friendly Market in Buffalo, he struck Zaire Goodman in the neck. Fortunately, Goodman survived.
Gendron now faces 25 criminal charges, including hate-motivated domestic terrorism, first-degree murder, attempted murder, and murder as a hate crime. He pleaded not guilty.
However, Goodman also wants to hold Gendron’s parents accountable. Goodman’s lawyer recently petitioned the court to provide depositions and preserve testimony for a civil lawsuit. He alleges that parents Paul and Pamela Gendron ignored warning signs and were “willfully blind to their son’s propensity for vicious conduct.”
