NM man arrested after allegedly making violent threats online following Kirk’s assassination

A 19-year-old New Mexico man was arrested and charged on Thursday, Sept. 11, after making violent threats online involving mass murder following the assassination of Charlie Kirk, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office from the District of New Mexico.

The U.S. Attorney’s Office says on Thursday, Sept. 11, Jace Allen, 19, posted a series of violent and racist threats on X under the alias “Jebron Lames” following the assassination of Charlie Kirk.

Among the threats, Allen said that he planned to commit mass murder, target minorities and Jewish people, and shoot up unspecified locations, and also threatened to kill an Ohio city council member, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office.

Allen wrote directly to the council member, stating, “You’re gonna be one of the first to die.”

The FBI’s Toledo Resident Agency quickly traced the X account to Allen’s phone and residence in Jamestown, New Mexico.
