No he wasn’t. He was adopted by I believe a mother of Serbian ancestry and a father who was probably from a Cuban family. That does not mean he was of the same bloodline.
The shooter is not Nicholas deJesus Cruz. The birth dates do not match let alone the spelling of the name. Nikolas Cruz was born in Sept 1998. The man I believe you are thinking of was born Oct 1996.
So we don’t know his bloodline and he’s automatically labeled white? It proves my point that it’s agenda driven journalism by way of racism.
