John Earnest had been held on state charges in the attack on the Chabad of Poway near San Diego.
By Matt Zapotosky Matt Zapotosky National security reporter covering the Justice Department Email Bio Follow May 9 at 3:12 PM The 19-year-old accused of opening fire in a synagogue near San Diego last month, killing one and injuring three others, was charged Thursday with 109 federal hate crimes and civil rights violations — making it possible for him to face the death penalty, authorities said.
“This federal complaint alleges that these crimes were explicitly motivated by hatred toward the Jewish and Muslim communities,” U.S. Attorney Robert Brewer said at a news conference to announce the charges. “Our actions today are inspired by our desire to achieve justice for all of the victims and their families,” Brewer said. He said the federal and state cases will proceed at the same time, and Earnest is expected to appear in federal court next week.
The attack on the Chabad of Poway came on the last day of Passover, a major Jewish holiday, and six months after the massacre at Tree of Life synagogue in Pittsburgh, where a shooter killed 11 and injured six others.
