The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of New Mexico charged Jace Allen, 19, with making online threats to murder Jews and minorities after the assassination of Charlie Kirk, founder of Turning Point USA.
The New Mexico teen is accused of posting “a series of violent and racist threats” on a social media account on Sept. 11, the day after Kirk was killed on a Utah campus. “Among the threats, Allen wrote that he planned to commit mass murder, target minorities and Jews and shoot up unspecified locations,” the Justice Department said.
He faces up to five years in prison, per the department.
Allen also allegedly threatened an Ohio city council member, whom he is accused of telling, “You’re gonna be one of the first to die.”
The FBI traced the social media account, which was under an alias, to Allen’s phone and home in Jamestown, N.M. The Justice Department said that when FBI agents interviewed him at his home, the suspect “admitted to making the posts, acknowledged being a Neo-Nazi who hates Jews and minorities and said he wanted to help spark a civil war by terrorizing people online.”
Allen told agents that he didn’t own a gun, but “a search of his phone revealed videos of him firing a rifle and handgun in August 2025,” the Justice Department said.
