Authorities in New York recently released the names of the ten people murdered on Saturday afternoon by a self-described white supremacist who opened fire on a group of victims that was predominantly black.

One of the victims was a retired police officer, and another was the mother of the city’s former fire commissioner. Several of the victims were community members or had personal connections with those who actively served the local community, such as a retired fire commissioner and the mother of the city’s former fire commissioner.

Payton Gendron, age 18, has been charged with carrying out the shooting that is being investigated by the authorities as a “hate crime and an act of racially-motivated violent extremism.”

After entering a plea of not guilty to the charge of first-degree murder on Saturday, Gendron was ordered to be held without the possibility of bail.

On Thursday, he is scheduled to appear before the judge again.
