Jury Selection Begins in Federal Death Penalty Trial for Buffalo Supermarket Shooting
Jury selection has begun in the federal death penalty trial for the Buffalo, NY supermarket mass shooter.
Buffalo, NY, October 13, 2026 —
Jury selection has begun in the federal death penalty trial for the person identified in the available summary as the Buffalo, New York, supermarket mass shooter. The summary provides no further details about the proceedings.
The start of jury selection is the only development specified. The summary does not state when or where jury selection is taking place, identify the defendant, name the supermarket, or provide details about the shooting. It also does not describe the charges, explain the basis for the federal case, or say what steps in the court process are expected to follow.
The reference to a death penalty trial indicates that capital punishment is at issue in the federal proceeding. However, the summary does not specify the status of any decision about a possible sentence, the positions of prosecutors or defense lawyers, or whether the jury-selection process has an anticipated duration.
No statements from the court, the defendant, attorneys, survivors, or relatives are included in the information provided. No hearing schedule, courtroom details, or other case developments are given. Accordingly, the available information establishes that jury selection has started, but does not provide enough detail to describe the selection process or the broader procedural history.
Further particulars—including the defendant’s name, the date jury selection began, the court location, and any next scheduled proceeding—were not provided in the summary. This account is limited to the reported start of jury selection and the federal death penalty status of the trial.
