Patrick Wood Crusius (born July 27, 1998) is an American mass murderer, white supremacist, and domestic terrorist who perpetrated the 2019 El Paso Walmart shooting, in which he murdered 23 people and injured 22 others. The attack has been described as one of the deadliest acts of violence against Latinos in U.S. history. He lived with his family in Allen, Texas, in the Dallas–Fort Worth metroplex, approximately 650 miles (1,050 km) from El Paso.

After the shooting, Crusius drove to the intersection of Sunmount and Viscount. Once there, he stopped in a left-turn lane, exited the car with his hands raised, and identified himself as the shooter to Texas Rangers and an El Paso motorcycle officer. He was arrested and transported to police headquarters.

Crusius's likeness was used for a meme, Chudjak, a variant of the Wojak internet meme. The image was initially created to mock users of the 4chan /pol/ imageboard and circulated under labels such as "le /pol/ face".
