— Texas Gov. Greg Abbott on Wednesday named a new El Paso district attorney after the previous one resigned under mounting pressure over the handling Abbott said Bill Hicks, a former judge and prosecutor, would"restore confidence" in El Paso after county officials last month took the extraordinary step of seeking to remove their elected district attorney.
El Paso County Attorney Jo Anne Bernal, whose office sought to remove Rosales, said prosecutors"could not even tell the court what work had been done" recently when it came to the Walmart shooting. Crusius was arrested soon after the Aug. 3, 2019, shooting. Police later said he confessed to driving to the border city from his home near Dallas to target Mexicans. Soon before the attack, he posted a racist screed online that railed against Hispanics coming to the U.S., according to prosecutors.
